Walter Stanley Paget (1863-1935) was a British illustrator.

He had two brothers who were also illustrators (and who also illustrated some Conan Doyle's works) : [[Sidney Paget]] and [[Henry M. Paget]]. As a consequence, in 1891, when the [[The Strand Magazine|Strand]] editor, [[George Newnes]], asked art director W. H. Boot to find an illustrator for the Sherlock Holmes stories, the latter sent an offer to Walter Paget but the letter arrived to [[Sidney Paget]].

After the death of Sidney Paget in 1908, the editor of the Strand chose various artists to continue the illustrations, and one was Walter.

In 1902 and 1913, he did 6 illustrations for [[Arthur Conan Doyle]]'s short story [[The Adventure of the Dying Detective]] and related article.

He signed: 'Wal Paget'.
