Bill Sheehan (born August 6, 1947) is a biologist and environmental advocate. He is best known for his work on zero waste and extended producer responsibility[1] through two American nonprofit organizations. He co-founded Product Policy Institute[2][3][4][5] (now Upstream Policy Institute[6]) in 2003 and was Executive Director until 2015. He co-founded GrassRoots Recycling Network[7][8] in 1995 and was Executive Director until 2003.

Sheehan received a doctorate in insect ecology from Cornell University in 1987 and researched ecology of parasitoid wasps [9][10] . Since 2016 he has been leading a citizen science initiative to engage mushroom enthusiasts in documenting fungal diversity through the nonprofit North American Mycoflora Project[11], of which Sheehan is board President.
