William Mortimer Brutton (1 December 1860 – 1937) was a British architect.

He was born in Kensington, London, the second son (and second of three children) of William Courtenay Brutton (1831–1878), who was a solicitor, originally from Exeter his wife Hannah Bridge (1836–1879).

Brutton has been described as a "prolific pub architect".

His works include the Fitzroy Tavern, a public house situated at 16 Charlotte Street in the Fitzrovia district of central London, to which it gives its name. The building was originally constructed as the Fitzroy Coffee House, in 1883, and converted to a pub (called “The Hundred Marks”) in 1887, by Brutton.

In 1896, Brutton designed the King's Head, Tooting, which CAMRA describe as "an historic pub interior of national importance".

Also in 1896, Brutton designed the St James's Tavern in Denham Street, in central London.

In 1897, Brutton was responsible for the remodelling and extension of the Alhambra Theatre in Leicester Square, now the site of the Odeon Leicester Square.

Brutton also designed the Princess Victoria in Shepherd's Bush.
