William Ian Corneil Binnie (born April 14, 1939) is a puisne justice on the Supreme Court of Canada.

Binnie was born in Montreal, Quebec. He graduated from McGill University in 1960 and went on the study law at Cambridge University and the University of Toronto. He was called to the Ontario bar in 1967 and practiced private law in Wright & McTaggart until 1982 at which point he went to work as Associate Deputy Minister of Justice for the Government of Canada. In 1986, he went on to practice at McCarthy Tétrault until he was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1998 replacing John Sopinka. Just as his predecessor, Binnie had never sat as a judge before his appointment to the Supreme Court.

Prior to his appointment he had argued numerous cases in front of the Court. He was lead counsel for the defendant in "R. v. Wholesale Travel Inc."

Judgments

Due to Binnie's background in business and corporate law, he has typically written many of the judgements in those areas of law. His style of judgment in constitutional cases is said to lean towards giving deference to government. This can most clearly be seen in cases such as the recent "Chaoulli v. Quebec (Attorney General)" [2005] .
