William McGavin (1773-1832) was a Scottish businessman and religious controversialist. From 1818 to 1822, he contributed to the Glasgow Chronicle a series of letters on major points of controversy between the Roman and Reformed churches under the general title of "The Protestant". In book form, "The Protestant" passed through six editions. Statements contained in it relative to the building of a Roman Catholic chapel in Glasgow led to an action for libel on behalf of the officiating priest in April 1821, and damages were awarded against McGavin.
