William Gerald Minson (born 11 April 1985 in South Australia) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Minson grew up in Norwood, South Australia and played football with the Norwood Football Club up until the under 18's. He was a student at the exclusive St Peter's College, Adelaide, where he played the majority of his junior football.

The Western Bulldogs recruited Minson in the 2002 AFL Draft, at pick number 20. He made his debut with the club in 2004.

Since the injury of ruckman Luke Darcy, Will has filled the role to the best of his abilities. He is considered very mobile for his 199 cm and 103 kg frame but is also very strong.

Off the field, Minson is known for his intelligence and multi-faceted abilities - he is an excellent saxophonist, speaks fluent German and is currently studying Engineering at the University of Melbourne.

Will's younger brother, Hugh Minson, plays for Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League.
