William Wilkinson (died 1836) was British Consul to the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia, appointed to Bucharest by the Levant Company in 1813;[1][2] he was recalled in 1816.[3] He wrote a book An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia: With Various Political Observations Relating to Them (1820).[4] It was one of the books on which Bram Stoker took notes before writing Dracula, and the Romanian name Dracula was taken from it.[5][6]
