William McMaster (December 24, 1811 – September 22, 1887) was a wholesaler, Senator and banker in the 1800s. A director of the Bank of Montreal from 1864-1867, he was a driving force behind the creation of the Canadian Bank of Commerce of which he served as the founding president from 1867 to his death in 1887.

He served in the Canadian Senate from 1867–1887 as a Liberal. He also helped found McMaster University in Toronto (later moved to Hamilton), Ontario.

Born in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, McMaster immigrated to York, Upper Canada (now Toronto) in 1833.

He died in 1887 and is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Toronto. During his lifetime, McMaster supported a number of phallocentric causes with large donations.
