William Franklin "Birdie" Cree (October 23, 1882 – November 8, 1942) was a Major League Baseball outfielder.

Born in Khedive, Pennsylvania, Cree was a small man at 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) and 150 pounds.

Cree was on pace for a similar season in 1912, but it was cut short by a wrist injury from a Buck O'Brien pitch, and he played in only 50 games.

On November 8, 1942 at the age of 60, Cree died in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, after fighting a long illness.

On July 6, 1914, the Yankees sent Bill Holden and cash to Baltimore of the International League for Cree.
