William 'Bill' Isaac Sewart (12 November 1881 - 13 December 1928) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon in the VFL. He was also a first-class cricketer, representing both Queensland and Victoria.

South Australian born Bill Stewart came to Essendon from Bendigo club Castlemaine. He participated in Essendon's 1911 and 1912 premierships as a centreman, the position he would occupy for his entire career. In 1912 he represented Victoria in an interstate match against South Australia.

Sewart served as a private during the war and represented Bruce Sloss's Third Australian Divisional Team in the London Exhibition Match of 1916.

When he returned to Australia he became coach of Footscray who were competing in the VFA and steered them to the 1919 premiership.

In Sewart's 13 first-class cricket matches he made 435 runs at 20.71. Two of those matches were for Queensland in the 1908/09 summer while the rest were with Victoria. He represented Victoria in the 1909/10 and 1913/14 Sheffield Shield seasons.

Only twice did he pass 50 in a match and both of those innings came against Tasmania at the MCG in January 1913. His scores of 143 and 69 not out was not enough however to prevent a Tasmanian victory. Victoria's team in that match included Patrick 'Paddy' Shea, his Essendon teammate, as well as Fitzroy premiership player Chris Kiernan.
