William Beier (born November 2, 1982 in Manila, Philippines) is a German ice dancer. He competes with his sister, Christina Beier. They are four-time (2005–2006, 2008, 2010) German national champions.

The Beiers moved from the Philippines to Germany in 1990. William Beier began skating when he was eight. He was a singles skater for two years and then took up ice dancing with his sister, Christina Beier.[1]

They did not compete in the 2006/2007 season because Christina was suffering from a foot injury. In February 2008 they withdrew from the 2008 World Championships because of injury.

In May 2008, the Beiers announced the end of their dance parternship. They teamed up again following the 2008-09 season. They trained for two weeks with Albena Denkova and Maxim Staviski but William Beier had a problem with his knees, which had troubled him since 2006. The Beiers ended their competitive career in 2010.
