William Henry Butler (24 February 1790 – 11 October 1865) was an English wine merchant and Mayor of Oxford.
Butler became a wine merchant in the middle section of the High Street in central Oxford.
Around 1820, he moved to new premises at Carfax,[2] in the very centre of Oxford, on the corner of St Aldate's and Queen Street.
Soon after being Mayor, Butler retired to live at Linden House (now known as the Priory) in the Old High Street at Headington, east of central Oxford.
In 1865, William Butler was buried in the churchyard at Carfax in the centre of Oxford in the grave of his first wife Elizabeth Briggs and their two infant daughters.
