William Lyne Wilson (1843 - 1900) was a U.S. political figure. He served as the Postmaster General between 1895 and 1897 and in the United States House of Representatives from West Virginia from 1883 to 1894. He was the primary author of the Wilson Gorman tariff of 1894, though the logrolling that raised the rates disgusted him. He was a prominent Bourbon Democrat and was a Gold Democrat who opposed William Jennings Bryan in 1896.
