Wallace Bligh Cheesman (1865 – 1947) was a British trade union leader and political activist.
Born in the Gad's Hill area of Higham, Kent, Cheesman began working for the Post Office.
In 1890, he was a founder member of the Fawcett Association, a trade union for post office workers, and he served as its general secretary from 1891.
[1][2] The following year, he was sacked from the Post Office on the grounds that he had circulated information about candidates in the 1892 general election.
He remained secretary of the Fawcett Association until the end of 1919, when he took it into a merger which formed the Union of Post Office Workers.
