Rev. William Bantom (born 1946?) was mayor of Cape Town from 1995 to 2000.

He became the city's first black mayor following the first non-racial local government elections in 1995. He was forced to resign as mayor and expelled from the New National Party in 2000 as a result of breaching company policies regarding appropriate use of work devices.

He is a minister in the Church of the Nazarene.
