William 'Will' Devey (born 12 April, 1865 in Perry Barr, Birmingham, died 10 June, 1935 in Birmingham) was an English professional footballer who played as a centre-forward for Small Heath (renamed from Small Heath Aliiance in 1888) in the Football Alliance and for a variety of Midlands clubs in the Football League and outside it.

He was Small Heath Alliance's leading scorer for their first two seasons in the Football Alliance (1889–90 and 1890–91) before moving to Wolverhampton Wanderers where he became their leading scorer in the next Football League season.

He was one of five brothers who all played professional football, Ted for Small Heath and Jack, Harry and Bob for Aston Villa.
