William Bateman Bateman-Hanbury, 2nd Baron Bateman (28 July 1826 – 30 November 1901), was a British Conservative politician.
Born William Hanbury, he was the son of William Bateman-Hanbury, 1st Baron Bateman, and his wife Elizabeth (née Chichester), and was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1837 he assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Bateman. He succeeded his father in the barony in 1845 and took his seat on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords. Between 1858 and 1859 he served as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) in the Conservative administration of the Earl of Derby. From 1852 to 1901 he also held the post of Lord-Lieutenant of Herefordshire.
Lord Bateman married Agnes, daughter of General Sir Edward Kerrison, 1st Baronet, in 1854. They had four sons and six daughters. He died in November 1901, aged 75, and was succeeded in the barony by his son William. Lady Bateman died in 1918.
