William Jeremiah Tuttle (February 21, 1882 – February 22, 1930) was an American freestyle swimmer and water polo player who represented the United States at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri.

Tuttle was born on February 21, 1882 to Mrs. Louise Jane Macklin Tuttle and Mr. W. Pierce Tuttle, who had served as a one-time President of the Chicago Board of Trade.

In the 1904 Olympics, he won silver medals as a member of the U.S. 4x50-yard freestyle relay team and as a member of Chicago Athletic Association water polo team. He also competed in the 200m obstacle course in the previous Olympic competition (1900), failing to place in the individual event.

Tuttle died at his home in Beverly Hills, on Oakhurst Drive on February 22, 1930. He died somewhat unexpectantly after completing a round of golf at the Los Angeles Country Club where he was a member. He was survived by his widow Agnes Tuttle who had lived in Chicago and Paris. Tuttle was later buried in his family's section at the Rosehill Cemetery in Chicago.
