William Garland McQuarrie (July 26, 1876 – May 30, 1943) was a Canadian lawyer and politician in the province of British Columbia.

Born in Ottawa, Ontario, the son of Lachlan and Mary McQuarrie, McQuarrie was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba and New Westminster, British Columbia.

P. Pettipiece (1921), legendary suffrage and co-operative advocate Rose Henderson (1925) and future Burnaby Reeve W. A. Pritchard (1926).
