William Walter Prochnau (born 1937)[1] is an American journalist.
His work on the Vietnam War while at the Seattle Times landed him on the master list of Nixon political opponents.

He also wrote Once Upon a Distant War: David Halberstam, Neil Sheehan, Peter Arnett--Young War Correspondents and Their Early Vietnam Battles.
