The biological father of Dana Scully's son, William, is The Smoking Man (C.G.B. Spender).
The Paternity of William
Throughout Season 11 of The X-Files, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder are engaged in a search for their son, William. During this period, Assistant Director Walter Skinner receives a crucial revelation from The Smoking Man himself.
The Smoking Man, who is also Fox Mulder's biological father, disclosed that he artificially impregnated Dana Scully. This act consequently established him as William's biological father. While Scully and Mulder did share intimacy again in the third episode of Season 11, titled "Plus One," this event occurred after William's birth and does not alter the established paternity through artificial insemination by The Smoking Man.

- Biological Father: The Smoking Man (C.G.B. Spender)
