William Harrell Felton (June 19, 1823 – September 24, 1909) was an American politician, army surgeon, and Methodist minister. Felton was elected to three terms of office to the United States House of Representatives as an Independent Democrat, where he served as a sharp critic of commercial and financial interests and the return to the gold standard.
Felton's wife was Rebecca Latimer Felton, who later became the first woman to serve in the United States Senate, albeit for only one day.
