William Ord (c. 1715 – 24 January 1768) was an English land and mine owner.
He was the second son of Thomas Ord of Fenham and Anne Bacon and inherited the family estates at Fenham and Newminster Abbey on the death of his elder brother John, in 1745.
Ord was High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1747, and in that year received the Freedom of the City of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
His eldest son, William (1752–1789), High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1777, married Eleanor Brandling of Gosforth, daughter of the Member of Parliament Charles Brandling, and William Ord MP was their son; on her husband's death she remarried Thomas Creevey.
James Ord (1761–1836), who inherited the Langton estates, married Barbara Brandling of Gosforth.
