William Henry Dean, born at Leeds, Yorkshire on November 25, 1928 was a cricketer who played one first-class match for Somerset in 1952.

Dean was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler. Along with fellow Yorkshireman Malcolm Walker, he was picked by Somerset for the match against the touring Indian side at County Ground, Taunton from 28 May 1952. Somerset batted first and reached 193 for eight wickets when Dean batted at No 10, joining all-rounder Johnny Lawrence, who had recommended him to the county.

When the Indians batted, Dean opened the bowling, but spin bowlers took the wickets. In Somerset's second innings, Dean came in just before the declaration and was unbeaten without scoring. He again failed to take wickets in India's second innings, bowling four overs for just four runs.

This match proved to be Dean's only taste of first-class cricket. Unlike Walker, whose batting had failed but who had taken three wickets, he was not offered a contract by Somerset and he never played first-class cricket again.
