William 'Bill' Strickland (17 August 1864 – 24 November 1959) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the inaugural Victorian Football League (VFL) season.

Strickland was a centreman and started his career with Brunswick before joining Victorian Football Association side Carlton in 1885. After eight seasons he crossed to Collingwood and in 1897 became Collingwood's first ever VFL captain, leading it to third place in what would be the last season of his career. He returned to the VFL in 1904 as coach and again briefly in 1908.
