William Emanuel Cobham, detto Billy (Panama, 16 maggio 1944), è un batterista, percussionista e compositore statunitense di origine panamense. Cobham ha saputo spaziare da un genere all'altro senza porre alcun limite alla sua musica e ciò è dimostrato da una vasta discografia e dalle numerose collaborazioni con artisti provenienti da tutto il mondo. Dalla fine degli anni sessanta ha rivoluzionato il modo di concepire le parti destinate alla batteria, apportando forza creativa all'ambito ritmico e quindi è riconosciuto come uno tra i più grandi e più virtuosi batteristi per la sua potenza e tecnica percussiva.
