William Edwin Brooks

William Edwin Brooks (30. heinäkuuta 1828 Irlanti – 18. tammikuuta 1899 Mount Forrets, Ontario) oli irlantilainen lintutieteilijä ja insinööri.

Brooks muutti Intiaan rautatielaitoksen insinööriksi 1856 ja pysyi virassaan vuoteen 1881. Jäätyään eläkkeelle hän muutti Ontarioon, Kanadaan. Brooks oli British Ornithological Unionin kunniajäsen. Hän oli kirjeenvaihdossa Alfred Russell Wallacen, Thomas C. Jerdonin ja Tytlerin kanssa. Hänen laaja lintukokoelmansa on British Museumissa. Pitkän Intian uransa aikana hän oli aktiivisesti kirjeenvaihdossa muiden alueen ornitologien kanssa, erityisesti Allan Octavian Humen. Hänen kolmas poikansa Allan Cyril Brooks (1869–1946), joka oli nimetty Humen mukaan, ryhtyi myös ornitologiksi ja hänestä tuli myös maailmankuulu taidemaalari.

1887 Brooks muutti perheineen Ontarion Miltonista uudelle maatilalle Chilliwackiin Brittiläiseen Kolumbiaan. 1891 hän myi Chilliwackin tilansa palatakseen takaisin Ontarioon, Mount Forrestiin.

Brooks nimesi muun muassa kashmirinuunilinnun (Phylloscopus humei).
