William Henry Potter (January 8, 1841 – September 14, 1913) was a prominent photographer based in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the late 19th century. Born in Bradford, Pennsylvania, he was the second of six sons to Jacob H. Potter, a physician, and Mary Ann Potter. The family relocated to Ohio by the mid-1840s, settling in Pike Township, Knox County, by 1850. In the 1860s, Potter married Pearl Parr. By 1870, they resided in Mansfield, Ohio, with their first two daughters, where Potter worked as a photographer.
In 1875, he moved to Indianapolis and briefly partnered with Allen in the studio "Potter & Allen" located in the Claypool Block, opposite Hotel Bates. After the partnership dissolved, Potter established his own studio, W.H. Potter, which he operated from 1875 to 1895. His studio was located at 10 Claypool Block from 1880 to 1895.
Potter's work included portraits of notable figures such as Governor Isaac P. Gray in 1885 and poet James Whitcomb Riley in the early 1890s. He also captured images of significant landmarks, including the Hasselman-Fahnley House around 1875.
Potter passed away on September 14, 1913, in Dayton, Ohio.
