William Stanton Pilcher (January 5, 1803 – August 14, 1858) was the eleventh mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, serving from 1857 to 1858.
Pilcher was born in Stafford County, Virginia to a wealthy manufacturing family.
Pilcher unsuccessfully ran for lieutenant governor in 1844 as a Jacksonian Democrat, but was elected mayor of Louisville on the Know Nothing party on April 4, 1857, in a landslide.
[citation needed] However, by May 13, 1858, he was too ill to continue his duties, and he died on August 14, 1858, becoming the first mayor of Louisville to die in office.
