William Murray (June 17, 1839 – July 15, 1898) was an Ontario businessman and political figure. He represented Renfrew North in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1874 to 1875.
He was born in Goulbourn Township in 1839, the son of an Irish immigrant. He entered business with his older brother Thomas in Pembroke. He was declared elected in 1874 after Peter White's election was appealed. In 1876, Murray was unseated and White won the subsequent by-election. In 1884, Thomas and William registered a claim on a nickel deposit near Sudbury which later became the Murray Mine, the first nickel mine established in the area.
