William Bolling (1785 – 30 August 1848) was an English Tory and later Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons in two periods between 1832 and 1848.
The family were cotton manufacturers and he and his father were among the promoters of the Bolton and Leigh Railway which opened in 1828.
Bolling and his family were deeply involved in the social upheavals associated with factory legislation, child labour and working class enfranchisement.
