William Farrington Aldrich (March 11, 1853 – October 30, 1925) was an American businessman and politician who served three non-consecutive stints as a U.S. Representative from Alabama around the turn of the 20th century.
He was brother of Truman Heminway Aldrich and great-great-grandfather of William J. Edwards.
He was the last Republican that Alabama sent to congress until 1965, part of the Jim Crow era dominance of the south by the Democratic Party.
