William Dummer (1677 - October 10, 1761) was Acting Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony from 1723 to 1728.

Dummer was born and died in Newbury, Massachusetts. He married Catherine Dudley on April 26, 1714. He was commissioned as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in 1716. The Governor then was Samuel Shute, and when he left on January 1, 1723, Dummer served as Governor and Commander-in-Chief. In 1728, William Burnet became the Governor, replacing Dummer. When Burnet died, Dummer acted as Governor and Commander-in-Chief again for a short time until 1730, when he retired. At his bequest, the Governor's Academy was opened on February 27, 1763, in Byfield, Massachusetts. It was first called Dummer Charity School, then Dummer Academy and, most recently, Governor Dummer Academy. On July 1, 2006, the name changed to The Governor's Academy.
