Bill Walker (born 23 February 1942) was an Australian rules footballer in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).

Walker was a rover of outstanding capacity, tough and quick with great evasive skills, who played his whole career with Swan Districts Football Club. Playing in the grand final in his first season in 1961, he kicked the winning goal. He went on to play in winning grand finals in the next two seasons. He is the only player to have won four Sandover Medals as the league's fairest and best player. His fourth medal was awarded as part of the (then) Westar Rules hierarchy's decision in 1997 to bestow retrospective Medals on those players who had lost only on countback.

In 2004 he was awarded Legend Status in the WA Football Hall of Fame.

In 1996 Walker was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
