William R. Staples (1798–1868) was a justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court from June 1835 to March 7, 1856, serving as Chief Justice after 1854. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Staples graduated from Brown University in 1817, and was admitted to the bar in 1819. He wrote few reported opinions, most of which were very short, and are mainly brief statements of the conclusions reached by the court rather than elaborate statements of the reasons upon which the decision rested.

He was the author and compiler of several works upon subjects connected with the early history of Rhode Island. At the request of the General Assembly, he prepared a history of the State Convention of 1790 which adopted the Federal Constitution.
