William Henry Wilkinson (1850 – 25 April 1906) was a British trade unionist.
He was a founder member of the Haslingden Weavers' Association, and was appointed as its general secretary in 1879.
At the time, the Blackburn Weavers' Association were on strike, opposing wage reductions of 10%.
[1] Wilkinson undertook various other roles, including membership of the executive of the Labour Representation Committee, and serving as secretary of the International Association of Textile Workers.
His health then worsened, and he stood down from the International Association at its conference in 1906, then took leave of absence from his remaining posts, dying soon after.
