William Jackson Conroy (1849 – December 15, 1915) was a miller, farmer and politician in Quebec. He served as mayor of Aylmer from 1882 to 1884 and from 1891 to 1892.^[1]

He was born in Aylmer, the son of Robert Conroy and Mary McConnell. With his brother Robert, he owned a sawmill and a flour mill at Deschênes. He also operated a large farm. In 1892, he married Maria McDonald. Conroy served on Aylmer municipal council in 1881 and from 1884 to 1890. During the 1890s, the brothers invented a harvesting machine pulled by houses which was in use in western Canada until it was replaced by steam-powered equipment. In 1895, they established the Hull Electric Company which operated street cars driven by hydro-electric power^[1] and also powered electric street lights.^[2]
