莎士比亚另有其人说

莎士比亚及另外四位可能是莎士比亚作品真正作者的人的画像 — 爱德华·德·维尔、弗兰西斯·培根、威廉·斯坦利（英语：William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby）和克里斯托弗·马洛（从左上角顺时针数起，莎士比亚居中）都被认为是莎士比亚作品的真正作者。

莎士比亚另有其人说是威廉·莎士比亚的作品是否出自他人之手的一种假说。其支持者认为，“莎士比亚”不过是一张面具，隐藏在其后面的可能是另一位作者，甚至是多位作者，他们因为各种原因不能用真实的名字展示自己的著作。^[1]这个假说引起了公众广泛的讨论，^[2]但有一小部分研究莎士比亚的学者和文学史家则认为，该假说不过是对莎士比亚的贬损。^[3]

莎士比亚第一次受到质疑是在19世纪中叶。^[4]2009年4月，美国最高法院大法官约翰·保罗·史蒂文斯聲稱认为莎士比亚的真实身份是第十七代牛津伯爵爱德华·德·维尔。^[5]
