  William Bennett (c. 1770 – 7 November 1857) was a British born Methodist minister of whom little is known before 1800.
  
  Bennett became known to history when the British Wesleyan Conference sent him as a missionary to Nova Scotia. His work as a missionary in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick was important to the development of the Methodist Church in the Maritimes.
