Guillaume de Palerme ("William of Palerne") is a French romance poem, which has been translated into English.

The French verse romance was composed circa 1200, commissioned by Countess Yolande (who is generally identified to be Yolande, daughter of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders). The prose version of the French romance, printed by N Bonfons, passed through several editions.

The English poem in alliterative verse, commissioned by Humphrey de Bohun, 6th Earl of Hereford, was written circa 1350 by a poet named William. A single surviving manuscript of the English version is held at Kings College, Cambridge.
