Walter Stanley Paget (* 1863; † 1935) war ein britischer Illustrator. Für sein Wirken wurde er mit der Goldmedaille der Royal Academy of Arts geehrt.
Walter Paget war der jüngste der drei Brüder (Henry Marriott, Sidney und Walter) und wie diese illustrierte er Bücher und Zeitschriften im späten 19. und anfangs des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er zeichnete gewöhnlich „Wal Paget“. Er arbeitete unter anderem für The Sphere (während des Burenkrieges), Illustrated London News, The Strand Magazine.
Einen Namen erwarb sich Walter Paget als Buchillustrator, wenngleich er als der am wenigsten talentierte von den drei Brüdern bezeichnet wird. Seine Zeichnungen finden sich in den Werken von Robert Louis Stevenson (in Die Schatzinsel von 1899), Henry Rider Haggard (König Salomos Schatzkammer von 1895), insbesondere dann in vielen auch fremdsprachigen Ausgaben von Daniel Defoes Robinson Crusoe. Nach dem Tod von Sidney Paget illustrierte Walter Paget auch die Sherlock-Holmes-Geschichte „The Adventure of the Dying Detective“ von Conan Doyle (Ausgabe in Strand Magazine vom Dezember 1913).

The Princess explained all that had happened to her.
THE MERCHANT AND THE GENIE
THE STORY OF THE FISHERMAN
Passing through the garden she entered a little wood, where she was joined by an enormous black man. Listening intently, I heard them discuss the magical means by which my kingdom, castle, and subjects were to be ruined and overthrown, whilst I myself was to be made away with.
THE ENCHANTED HORSE
The Hindoo, overjoyed at his success and the ease with which he had accomplished his villainy, mounted the horse, took the princess behind him, turned the peg, and instantly the horse mounted into the air.
THE STORY OF ALADDIN OR THE WONDERFUL LAMP
With that he set the cup to his lips and drained it to the very last drop, when immediately
his eyes began to roll in his head and he fell backwards, lifeless, on the sofa. The princess had no occasion to order the private door to be opened to Aladdin, for her women were so disposed from the great hall to the foot of the staircase, that the word was no
sooner given that the African magician was fallen backwards, than the door was immediately opened.
ALI BABA
He first led the robber to the place where Morgiana had blindfolded him, and the robber tied
his handkerchief over his eyes and then walked by his side, partly leading him and partly guided by him. "I think," said Baba Mustapha at length, "I went no farther," and he stopped directly at Cassim's house, where Ali Baba now lived.
THE STORY OF KUMMIR AL ZUMMAUN AND BADOURA PRINCESS OF CHINA
SINBAD THE SAILOR
The old man perceiving the effect which this liquor had upon me, and that I carried him with
more ease than before, made me a sign to give him some of it. I handed him the calabash and, the liquor pleasing his palate, he drank it all off. There being a considerable quantity of it, he
became intoxicated and began to sing after his manner, and to dance upon my shoulders.
