William 'Bill' Windley (born 28 November 1868) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Windley was one of South Melbourne's veteran footballers when they started out in the VFL, having played in the VFA since 1886. He had been a member of their 1888, 1889 and 1890 premiership sides.

An elusive player, he was a centreman in the VFA but was often used as a rover later on in his career and also spent some time up forward. He captained South Melbourne in 1900 and 1902 and played in their losing 1899 Grand Final team.
