William Shakespeare (September 27, 1912 - January 17, 1974) was an American football player.
An All-American halfback and punter out of Notre Dame, Bill Shakespeare appeared as himself in one feature film, The Big Game (1936). He was drafted third overall in the 1936 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but never played a game in the NFL. In World War II, Shakespeare went from private to captain, won four battle stars and the Bronze Star for gallantry in action. He was president of the Cincinnati Rubber Manufacturing Company at the time of his death.
In 1983, he was posthumously named to the College Football Hall of Fame.
