William Kennedy (July 31, 1768 – October 11, 1834) was a member of the United States House of Representatives from North Carolina.
Kennedy was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Eighth United States Congress in 1802, serving from 1803 to 1805.
Kennedy's re-election bid was defeated by Thomas Blount in 1810, though Kennedy was subsequently elected in a special election to fill the vacancy caused by Blount's death.
He served the remainder of the term in the Twelfth United States Congress, and in 1812 won re-election for the Thirteenth United States Congress.
Kennedy died in Washington, North Carolina in 1834.
