William Lawrence Webster (born September 17, 1953) is an American lawyer, former politician and convicted felon from Missouri.

Webster was the youngest person to serve in that position since Robert Franklin Walker was elected as attorney general in 1892, also at the age of 31.

The campaign for governor was marked by allegations of corruption relating to a state workers compensation fund that Webster managed as attorney general.

Amidst the scandal, Webster lost the general election to Democrat Mel Carnahan by a wide margin.

[2] Ultimately, Webster pleaded guilty to two federal felony charges of conspiracy and embezzlement related to abusing his position as Attorney General by using his state staff and office equipment for political purposes.
