William "Bill" Aston (29 March 1900, Hopton, Staffordshire4 March 1974, Lingfield, Surrey) was a British racing driver who participated in three Formula One World Championship Grands Prix, for his own team Aston Butterworth.

Prior to taking part in Formula One, Aston was a test pilot and motorcycle racer. He turned to four-wheel racing with a Cooper-JAP in Formula 3 and later graduated into Formula 2. He came close to winning a race at Chimay in 1951, but his car failed on the last lap. In the same year he set a 500cc world speed record in the streamlined Cooper. For 1952 he teamed up with Archie Butterworth and built a car that raced quite well, but was unfortunately very unreliable. He entered the car in the 1952 German Grand Prix but failed on the second lap. At the Italian Grand Prix he failed to make it through qualifying. Aston raced on into his 60s, with a Mini and a Jaguar, before he retired.
