William Pitt Lynde (December 16, 1817 – December 18, 1885) was an American lawyer, U.S. congressman, and Wisconsin pioneer. He represented Milwaukee and southeast Wisconsin in the 30th, 44th, and 45th congresses, and served as the 12th mayor of Milwaukee. Prior to Wisconsin statehood, he also served as United States attorney and attorney general of the Wisconsin Territory.[1][2] Some of his descendants are still influential in Wisconsin business, philanthropy, and politics.
