William of Nassau-Siegen ( August 13, 1592, Dillenburg – July 18, 1642 in Rheinberg) was Count of Nassau in Hilchenbach.
William was the fourth son of John VII, Count of Nassau (1561–1623) and his wife Magdalena von Waldeck-Wildungen (1558–1599).
William was educated in the Reformed faith, and studied in Heidelberg and Sedan. After the death of his father in 1623, he was moved after the death of his elder brother Adolf in 1608, to second place in the succession, and inherited the castle of Ginsburg, Hilchenbach and other places. He thus became the founder and sole representative of the line Nassau-Siegen, Hilchenbach. William lived at first in Ginsburg, and from 1623 in Hilchenbach. The local water-tower was named after him: William Castle.
