William Andrew Ogles IV (/ˈoʊɡəlz/ OH-gəlz;^[1] born June 18, 1971) is an American politician and businessman who has served as the U.S. representative for Tennessee's 5th congressional district since 2023. A member of the Republican Party, he served as the mayor of Maury County, Tennessee, from 2018 to 2022.

Ogles has worked as a conservative activist, serving as the executive director of the Laffer Center, a think tank supportive of supply side economics and the free market, and the Tennessee chapter of Americans for Prosperity.

Ogles has taken strongly conservative positions and been described by media as on the far-right of the political spectrum.^[2][3] He opposes abortion and same-sex marriage. During the attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, Ogles falsely claimed that it was stolen, and was one of the original 19 members of congress to vote against Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House.

Ogles represents the wealthiest congressional district in the state of Tennessee. ^[4]
