William Henry Breton (7 January 1799-1887) was a lieutenant in the Royal Navy who wrote the memoirs ''Excursions in New South Wales, Western Australia and Van Dieman's Land, during the years 1830, 1831,1832 and 1833'', first published in 1833 and ''Scandinavian Sketches, or, A Tour in Norway'', published in 1835. The books resulted from private visits to Australia, or New Holland as it was then known, in 1829-30 and 1832-33 and to Norway, Sweden and Russia in 1834.
