William Bruce Cameron was an American sociologist born in Oklahoma. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Butler University and received his PhD from the University of Wisconsin.

He taught at Butler University, the University of Cincinnati and Bradley University, where he also chaired the sociology department. By 1966, he was director of the Division of Social Sciences at the University of South Florida.

His books included Informal Sociology: A Casual Introduction to Sociological Thinking (1963) and Modern Social Movements: A Sociological Outline (1966), both published in Random House’s Studies in Sociology series. The latter examined the membership and organisation of social movements. His research also addressed the teaching of social psychology: in 1950, he co-authored a study comparing its place in sociology and psychology departments and calling for closer cooperation between the two disciplines.
