William 'Bill' Strickland (born 17 August 1864) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the inaugural VFL season.
Strickland was a centreman and started his career with Brunswick before joining VFA side Carlton in 1885. After eight seasons he crossed to Collingwood and in 1896 was voted the Champion of the Colony. In 1897 he became the Collingwood's first ever VFL captain, leading the club to third place in what would be the last season of his career. He returned to the league in 1904 as coach and again briefly in 1908.
