{{Use dmy dates|date=February 2018}}{{Use British English|date=February 2018}}William Killigrew Wait (21 December 1826{{citation needed|date=June 2016}} - 13 December 1902[2]) was a Bristol merchant and the Conservative Party member of Parliament for Gloucester elected in the 1873 Gloucester by-election. His opponent was Thomas Robinson of the Liberal Party who was subsequently elected in 1880. The 1873 by-election was bedeviled by accusations of corruption but an enquiry by the Electoral Commission upheld Wait's victory.[3]

His daughter Frances Katharine Wait married Charles Chadwyck-Healey on 17 May 1884.

He was converted to the cause of women's suffrage by the forced resignation of Eliza Walker Dunbar from the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children.{{citation needed|date=June 2016}}
