William Allen Edwards (born August 28, 1971) is an American former professional basketball player.

During his playing career, his nickname was "Dollar Bill" Edwards.

Edwards was never drafted by an NBA franchise, and despite having played a few games with the Philadelphia 76ers during the 1993–94 season, it was in Europe that he had a significant 12-year career.

Edwards was a member of the bronze medal-winning senior men's Team USA at the 1998 FIBA World Championship.

Edwards is the father of former Middletown High School standouts Bill Edwards Jr., who on May 6, 2009, signed a Letter of Intent to play college basketball for Penn State,[2] and Vincent Edwards, a former NBA player, who played college basketball for Purdue.
