William Wickham King (30 May 1862– 11 December 1959), usually known as Wickham King was a distinguished amateur geologist, a Fellow of the Geological Society for 50 years. He was the younger son of William Henry King and followed him as a solicitor in Stourbridge and magistrates clerk for the Stourbridge and Kingswinford Petty Sessional Divisions. His most important work was on the Old Red Sandstone, which was then believed to be barren of fossils. His work on this in Shropshire and elsewhere, particularly at east of Brown Clee Hill led to him discovering fossils of a fish, named Kingi.
