William Ferguson Parrington (1 November 1889 — 7 May 1980) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1926.

Parrington was born in Southwick, Sunderland, County Durham, the son of Matthew William Parrington, a mining engineer, and his wife Marion Ferguson.^[1] In 1914, he played one match in the Minor Counties Championship for Durham. Twelve years later in the 1926 season, he made his debut in for Derbyshire in May in a match against Warwickshire. In the second innings of this match, Parrington hit his career-best score of 47. He made occasional good stands among some fairly indifferent scores in the remaining five matches in which he played. Parrington was a right-handed batsman and played 11 innings in 6 first class matches with an average of 14.80 and a top score of 47. He was a right-arm medium-pace bowler but did not bowl a ball in first-class cricket.^[2]

Parrington died in Northallerton at the age of 90. Parrington's brothers, Tom and Henry, both played Minor Counties cricket for Durham between 1901 and 1905.
