William Watts Parmley (born January 22, 1936) was a general authority of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 2003 to 2009. Prior to becoming a general authority, Parmley had served as the chief of cardiology at the University of California, San Francisco and did studies primarily relating to cardiovascular pharmacology.

Parmley became a member of the LDS Church's Second Quorum of the Seventy in April 2003. Prior to his call as a general authority, Parmley served previously in the church as a bishop, stake president, and area seventy.
