William J. Kinner (June 13, 1914 – July 5, 1997) was an American basketball player who starred at the University of Utah in the 1930s.

Kinner was selected to the All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference all four seasons, and he scored over 1,000 career points for the Utes.

As a junior in 1934–35, Converse named him to their All-America Third Team, and as a senior the following year, Kinner was voted as a consensus All-American.

Then in 2008, fans voted him as one of the best 16 players in school history, which honored him as part of Utah's "All-Century" team.
