William Acton (c. 1513 – 1567) of Aldenham in Shropshire was an English politician who served in the parliament of Kingdom of England.
Acton sat in two of Queen Mary's five Parliaments for Bridgnorth in Shropshire in April 1554 and 1555.
Acton joined Reginald Corbet and others from Shropshire in opposing a government bill in 1555.
His eldest son may have studied law, but it's not known if Acton obtained a legal education.
Smith, related to Acton by marriage, promoted him from Bridgnorth in the two Edwardian Parliaments.
