William A. Goldie (December 15, 1873 – January 8, 1950) was a Canadian physician and university lecturer.

He attended the Galt Collegiate Institute, and subsequently studied medicine at the University of Toronto.

With the publication of the Flexner Report in 1910, he became an enthusiastic advocate for its recommendation that medical schools appoint full-time clinical professors.

He convinced Sir Robert Falconer, President of the University of Toronto, and Sir Joseph Flavell, chairman of the Board of Directors of Toronto General Hospital, of the need for such an appointment in the Faculty of Medicine, and set about to secure the required funding.

Subsequent Chairs have included Ray F. Farquharson (1947-1960), Charles H. Hollenberg (1970-1981), and Wendy Levinson (2004-2014).
