Sir William Lawrence Bragg, CH, OBE, MC, FRS (31 Mac 1890 - 1 Julai 1971) ialah seorang ahli fizik dan pengkristalografi X-ray British kelahiran Australia, penemu (1912) hukum Bragg difraksi sinar-X, yang asas bagi penentuan struktur kristal. Beliau ialah pemenang bersama (bersama bapanya, William Henry Bragg) dari Hadiah Nobel dalam Fizik pada tahun 1915: "Untuk perkhidmatan mereka dalam analisis struktur kristal melalui sinar-X", langkah penting dalam pembangunan kristalografi sinar-X. 

Bragg dikurniakan kesatria pada tahun 1941. Pada tahun 2018, beliau ialah pemenang Nobel termuda dalam fizik, setelah menerima penghargaan pada usia 25 tahun. Bragg ialah pengarah Makmal Cavendish, Cambridge, ketika penemuan struktur DNA dilaporkan oleh James D. Watson dan Francis Crick pada Februari 1953.
