William Cavendish, Earl of Burlington (born 6 June 1969), professionally also known by the name Bill Burlington, is a photographer and the son and heir of the 12th Duke of Devonshire. He was styled Earl of Burlington before his father's succession to the Dukedom of Devonshire, and has not assumed the title Marquess of Hartington as previous heirs apparent to the Dukedom have done.

They have two children, a daughter and a son:
- Lady Maud Cavendish (born in March 2009)
- James Cavendish, Lord Cavendish (born 12 December 2010) - second in line of succession to the Dukedom of Devonshire
