William Bannon (c. 1826 – 27 February 1904) was an Irishman who served in the British 65th Regiment of Foot in the New Zealand Wars in the 1840s. In 1849 he was found guilty of desertion and theft and was sentenced to transportation for seven years to Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania, Australia). A reward was posted for Bannon's capture after he escaped from a prison in Van Diemen's Land and, following his capture, he was transported to Norfolk Island before returning to Australia. "Murdering Gully Rd" at Table Cape, Tasmania is named after a murder that Bannon was accused of committing in 1858.

Over his life, along with being found guilty on charges of desertion, theft, prison escape, extortion, and running an illegal distillery, Bannon was charged and acquitted of various crimes including murder and firearms offences. He was also the police's main suspect for various thefts. On one occasion Bannon secured his acquittal when the jury believed his testimony over that of the police, and on another occasion Bannon was able to personally convince the Governor of Tasmania he should be released from prison.

Bannon went on to become a successful and well respected farmer in Tasmania. He married and had nine children. His descendants include the former leader of the Greens political party in Australia, prominent Tasmanian criminal barrister Cameron Scott, and a grandchild who gave his life as an ANZAC at Gallipoli.
