J. William Fulbright
James William Fulbright (9. april 1905 - 9. februar 1995) var en amerikansk senator, der repræsenterede Arkansas fra januar 1945 til sin afgang i december 1974. Fulbright er den længst siddende formand i historien for Senatets udenrigsudvalg for udenrigsanliggender. Han var sydstatsdemokrat og en overbevist multilateralist, der støttede oprettelsen af FN, men han var også segregationist og underskrev Sydstatsmanifestet. Fulbright var modstander af McCarthyismen og House Un-American Activities Committee og blev senere kendt for sin modstand mod amerikansk involvering i Vietnamkrigen. Hans bestræbelser på at etablere et internationalt udvekslingsprogram resulterede i sidste ende i oprettelsen af et stipendieprogram, som bærer hans navn, Fulbright-programmet.
