William G. Stinson (born circa 1945) is an American politician from Pennsylvania who served as a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania State Senate for the 2nd district from 1993 to 1994. He was elected to represent the 2nd senatorial district in the Pennsylvania Senate in a 1993 special election. However, Federal District Judge Clarence C.

The latter took office on April 28, 1994.
