"Mr. William Hayley" is an oil on canvas portrait by the English painter George Romney, created in 1778. The painting depicts William Hayley (1745–1820), a writer best known for his biographies and works of poetry, who was a close friend of the artist. Romney, a prominent portraitist of the 18th century, was known for his ability to capture the character and personality of his sitters, and this portrait is no exception. The artwork showcases Hayley in a thoughtful pose, reflecting his intellectual pursuits and his status as a literary figure of his time.

The portrait is characterized by Romney's soft brushwork and the use of light to highlight Hayley's features, a technique that enhances the contemplative mood of the piece. The sitter's attire and the background are rendered with less detail, directing the viewer's focus to Hayley's face and expression. This compositional choice underscores the importance of the subject's intellectual contributions over his physical surroundings.

As a significant work in Romney's oeuvre, "Mr. William Hayley" not only provides insight into the artist's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document of the cultural and literary circles in late 18th-century England. The painting is a testament to the friendship between Hayley and Romney, and it has been noted for its role in cementing Hayley's legacy as a literary figure. The portrait remains an important piece for the study of George Romney's work and the social networks of the British Enlightenment.
