W. W. Winter is a photography studio in Derby, the "longest running photography business in Britain".[1] The origins of the business have been traced back to 1852.[2] The studio in Midland Road was built in 1867 by Walter William Winter.[3][4]

In 2014, the studio had a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) grant of £51,800 to begin preserving and cataloguing its glass negative photographs.[5] In 2017, to celebrate 150 years in the same premises, an exhibition was held at Derby Museum and Art Gallery.[4]
