威廉·基德William Kidd1645年-1701年5月23日),俗称「船长基德」,苏格兰船长,因海盗罪被处决,但其至死仍坚决否认。

据传基德出生于北爱尔兰贝尔法斯特,但其自称出生于苏格兰格林诺克,有现代研究指其出生于邓迪。在他5岁时,其父亲过世,之后全家移民纽约殖民地。

在大同盟战争期间,基德奉命捕获了一艘敌方私掠船,之后他也获得当地总督的许可证,在加勒比海地区进行武装私掠活动。

1695年12月11日,基德接受纽约、马萨诸塞和新罕布什尔总督,首任贝洛蒙特伯爵的请求,对印度洋中的海盗和法国船只开展攻击,为此,英国国王威廉三世向基德发放了私掠许可证,并规定其虏获的10%归英国王室所有。次年9月,基德绕过好望角,进入印度洋活动。但是不幸的是,基德在印度洋中很长时间内都没有找到海盗。据爱德华·巴罗,一位英国东印度公司的船长声称,困窘之下的基德袭击了一艘由东印度公司保护的莫卧儿帝国使者船。

Captain William Kidd (c. 22 January 1645 – 23 May 1701) was a Scottish sailor who was tried and executed for piracy after returning from a voyage to the Indian Ocean. Some modern historians deem his piratical reputation unjust, as there is evidence that Kidd acted only as a privateer. Kidd's fame springs largely from the sensational circumstances of his questioning before the English Parliament and the ensuing trial. His actual depredations on the high seas, whether piratical or not, were both less destructive and less lucrative than those of many other contemporary pirates and privateers.
