William Saurin was an Irish barrister and politician. He was Attorney-General for Ireland from 1807 to 1822, and for much of that period he acted as the effective head of the Irish administration. He was unusual in a Law Officer in that he never became a judge, nor apparently ever wished to be one. He incurred the enmity of Daniel O'Connell, who called him "the mortal foe".
