William Robert Fremantle (30 August 1807[1] – 8 March 1895[2]) was the Dean of Ripon from 1876 [3] until his death.

He was educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford. In 1828 he became a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, and Curate of Swanbourne. He held incumbencies in Pitchcott and Middle Claydon before his elevation to the Deanery.[4]

He was the brother of Thomas Fremantle, 1st Baron Cottesloe, and therefore uncle of the Hon William Fremantle, who succeeded Fremantle as Dean of Ripon.
