William de Cornhill (or William of Cornhill; died 1223) was a medieval Bishop of Coventry.
Some sources say William was the son of
Third Lateran Council in 1215 and was present at the first coronation of King Henry III of England in 1216.[2] He may have resigned before his death on 19 August or 20 August 1223,[6] as he had suffered a stroke in 1221 and lost the power of speech. He was buried in Lichfield Cathedral.[2]
