William Franklin Skiff (October 16, 1895 – December 25, 1976) was an American professional baseball player, manager and scout.
Although he appeared only briefly in Major League Baseball in 22 total games as a catcher and pinch hitter for the 1921 Pittsburgh Pirates and the 1926 New York Yankees, he had a long career in the minor leagues: 19 seasons as a player or player-manager, and another 14 as a manager.
Born in New Rochelle, New York, the 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), 170 lb (77 kg) Skiff batted and threw right-handed.
As a manager he piloted the top-level Seattle Rainiers, Newark Bears and Kansas City Blues.
On July 8, 1924, Bill Skiff, along with Pete Scott, was questioned during a coroner's inquest about a young woman who fell down a freight elevator shaft after visiting his room.
