Sir William Charles Angliss (29 January 1865 – 15 June 1957) was a butcher, pastoralist, pioneering meat exporter, businessman, and politician in Melbourne, Australia.

From 1912 to 1952, Angliss was a member of the Legislative Council of Victoria, representing Southern Province, an electorate comprising much of the city of Melbourne and the adjoining rural areas to the south-east.

His most important political contribution is regarded as promoting a system of preferential controls which boosted meat exports, arising from the Ottawa Imperial Conference in 1932, at which he was the official business consultant to the Australian delegation.

In 1940, he donated money to start a specialist trade or technical school specialising in providing vocational education and training opportunities for the hospitality and foods industries.

Initially called the William Angliss Food Trades School, apprenticeship courses were offered in pastry, butchery, breadmaking and baking, cooking and waiting.
