William Yorke (c. 1609 – 1 November 1666) was an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons for two periods between 1654 and 1666.

He matriculated at Pembroke College, Oxford on 25 May 1627, aged 17 and was awarded BA in 1630.
[1] Yorke died at the age of 56 and was buried in the Temple Church on 26 November 1666.
[1] Yorke married Elizabeth Danvers, widow of Henry Danvers of Baynton, Edington, and daughter of William Bower of West Lavington, Wiltshire, before 27 October 1646.
