William Turnbull Swan (27 August 1827 – 15 March 1875) was a 19th-century politician in Auckland, New Zealand.
When the gold rush on Coromandel Peninsula started in 1867, he relocated to what became Thames and was one of the leading citizens who took control of the development of the town.
[4] Swan then represented the Thames electorate in the Auckland Provincial Council from 17 October 1872 until his death.
[5] He died in his lodgings at Symonds Street, Auckland on 15 March 1875 aged 47 years.
As a consequence, none of the fellow provincial councillors attended his funeral at Symonds Street Cemetery.
