William Stanbery (August 10, 1788 – January 23, 1873) was an American attorney and politician who was a U.S. representative from Ohio from 1827 to 1833.

Stanbery was elected a Jacksonian to the United States House of Representatives in 1827 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of William Wilson. He was reelected as a Jacksonian in 1828 and as an Anti-Jacksonian in 1830.

He was caned by Sam Houston on Pennsylvania Avenue. Houston was reprimanded in the House of Representatives.

Stanbery was married to Mary Shipley of New York City on June 14, 1809, in New York City. They had seven children.

Stanbery's half-brother, Henry Stanbery, was United States Attorney General under Andrew Johnson and resigned to defend Johnson during his impeachment trial.
