William Hamilton Sewell (November 27, 1909 – June 24, 2001) was the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1967-1968. Sewell took control of the Madison campus in 1967 in the midst of the Vietnam War and heavy student protests. After a tough year due to the protesting, he resigned in June 1968.

He briefly taught at Michigan State and Oklahoma State before he became a professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1946, where he stayed until becoming the chancellor in 1967. After resigning his post in 1968, he continued teaching. Sewell died in Madison, Wisconsin in 2001.
