William Wild (21 February 1846 — 7 January 1891) was an English first-class cricketer.

Wild was born in February 1846 at Thorncombe, Dorset. He later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Hampshire against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1877.[1] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed for 8 runs by Fred Morley in Hampshire's first innings, while following-on in their second innings he ended Hampshire's innings of 149 all out unbeaten on 2 runs.[2] As a bowler, he was described by the Hampshire Independent as a "Southampton lad, free and graceful delivery, [with] a good pace".[3] Prior to playing first-class cricket for Hampshire, Wild was summoned to Southampton Police Court in October 1869 on charges of assaulting John Gray, a toll collector on the Itchen Bridge.[4] Wild later moved to Norfolk, where he worked as a tailor. He died at his residence in Norwich in January 1891, with his wife informing the coroner that leading up to his death he had been suffering from rheumatic fever.[5]
