William John Wheeler (1942-2008), also credited as W. John Wheeler and Wm. John Wheeler, was a game designer, editor, and writer for FASA's Star Trek: The Role Playing Game.

Wheeler also assumed the role of editor-in-chief for FASA's Stardate Magazine, managing issues 5/6 and 7, the last two issues of volume 1.
