William Felix Brantley (March 12, 1830 – November 2, 1870) was an American lawyer and American Civil War and Confederate States of America combatant. He served as a officer and brigadier general in the military Confederate States Army during the American Civil War (1861-1865), mainly in the Western Theater during the conflict.
He was ambushed and murdered in central Mississippi in November 1870, reportedly as part of a family feud. His older brother, Dr. John Ransom Brantley, was unfortunately also killed a decade earlier in 1859 further west in Gonzales, Texas. Their younger brother Arnold Brantley was also killed in the former first county seat of Webster County, Mississippi and now non-existent town there of Greensboro three months earlier in August 1870; his unknown attackers escaped.
