- William Pringle (Liberal politician)
William Mather Rutherford Pringle (22 January 1874 – 1 April 1928) was a Liberal Party politician in the United Kingdom who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) from 1922 to 1924.
At the 1924 general election he was elected as Member of Parliament for Penistone in Yorkshire, defeating the sitting Labour MP William Gillis, who had narrowly beaten Pringle to win the seat at a by-election in 1921.
Pringle held the seat in 1923, but was defeated at the 1924 general election by Labour's Rennie Smith.
Before his candidacy in Penistone, Pringle had unsuccessfully contested Glasgow Springburn at the 1918 general election and Rusholme at a by-election in 1919. After his 1924 defeat, he stood in the 1925 Ayr Burghs by-election, but finished a poor third and did not stand for Parliament again.
