William Woodall (Shrewsbury 15 March 1832 – Llandudno 8 April 1901), was a British Liberal politician, philanthropist and supporter of women's suffrage.

[citation needed] Woodall married Evelyn, daughter of Burslem china manufacturer James Macintyre, in 1862.

Woodall became the Chairman of the Sneyd Colliery Company in North Staffordshire, one of the oldest coal mines in the UK, which he was said to own.
