William Fawkener Chetwynd (1788 – 25 April 1873) was a British politician.

Chetwynd lived at Brocton Hall in Staffordshire. He served as a captain in the 1st Life Guards. He stood in Stafford at the 1832 UK general election, winning a seat for the Whigs. In Parliament, he argued against non-conformist Protestants being permitted to take their seats. He held his seat until the 1841 UK general election, when he retired.[1]
