William 'Bill' Lava (March 18, 1911 – February 20, 1971) was an American composer and musical arranger known for his work with Warner Bros. on Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons beginning in 1962, taking over after the late Milt Franklyn. Lava's style deviated from Franklyn’s and Carl Stalling’s, leaning towards atonality similar to Hanna-Barbera productions. Though he scored segments for Pink Panther and various other series, his work did not garner the same acclaim as his predecessors. He faced challenges with limited budgets, which affected his orchestration capabilities.
