William Egerton (1684–1732) was a British Army officer and Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons almost continuously from 1706 to 1732.
He was initially inactive in the House as he was serving with the army in Flanders, but voted for the impeachment of Dr Sacheverell in 1710.
He was returned again at the 1710 British general election and voted for the motion of ‘No Peace Without Spain’ and against the French commerce bill on 18 June 1713.
Egerton was said to have spoken insultingly about the Duke of Ormond, and in April 1714 he was told by Secretary at War, Francis Gwyn, that the Queen ‘had no further service for him’ and was to be given 1,000 guineas for his company.
