Rev. Dr. William Dodd, LL.D. (Law, Cambridge University, 1766; M.A., Cambridge U., 1759; B.A., Mathematics (Wrangler), Clare College, Cambridge, 1749/50), was an Anglican clergyman and writer known as the Macaroni Parson for his extravagant lifestyle.

He eventually forged a bond in an effort to clear his debts, was caught, convicted, and, despite a public campaign that included the support of Samuel Johnson for a Royal pardon, became the last person to be hanged at Tyburn for forgery.
