William Alexander Dickson (27 August 1866 - 1 June 1910) was a Scottish footballer who played for Dundee Strathmore, Bolton Wanderers, Sunderland, Aston Villa, Stoke City and the Scotland national team.
Dickson won his only Scotland cap while with Dundee Strathmore on 24 March 1888 where he scored four times in a 10-2 win over Ireland. Despite this, he was never selected again for his country. He is one of just two players to have scored four goals in their only Scotland appearance, the other being Charles Heggie two years previously.
He later had brief spells with English clubs Bolton Wanderers and Sunderland before joining Aston Villa in 1889. He scored 33 goals in 58 games for Villa and was captain of their 1892 FA Cup team. In 1892, he joined Stoke City where he would spend the remainder of his career, retiring in 1897.
He later became a licensee.
