William Lount (March 3 1840 – April 24 1903) was an Ontario lawyer and political figure. He represented Simcoe North in the 1st Parliament of Ontario and Toronto Centre in the Canadian House of Commons as a Liberal member from 1896 to 1897.

He was born in Holland Landing in Upper Canada in 1840. He was educated at the University of Toronto, studied law and was called to the bar in 1863.
