William Annesley, 1st Viscount Glerawly
William Annesley, 1st Viscount Glerawly (1710 – 2 September 1770) was an Irish politician and noble.
Lord Glerawly was the sixth son of Francis Annesley and Elizabeth Martin. Through his father, Lord Glerawly was the grandson of Francis Annesley, 1st Viscount Valentia and thus his descendants are in the remainder to the title Viscount Valentia. Annesley sat as Member of Parliament (MP) in the Irish House of Commons for Midleton between 1741 and 1759. He served as High Sheriff of Down in 1750.
On 16 August 1738, Lord Glerawly married Lady Anne Beresford, a daughter of Marcus Beresford, 1st Earl of Tyrone and with her had at least three children:
- Francis Annesley, 1st Earl Annesley (1740–1802)
- The Hon. Catherine Annesley (bef. 1745-1770)
- Richard Annesley, 2nd Earl Annesley (1745–1824)
