William H. Hudnut III (born October 17, 1932) was a four term Republican mayor of Indianapolis from 1976-1992. He also represented the Indianapolis area in Congress from 1973-1975. He is also an ordained minister of Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church and acted as the senior pastor of Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis.
