William G. Norton (? – February 1895) was an American college football coach. He attended Dartmouth College, where he competed in track and field,[1] baseball, and earned varsity letters in football in 1889 and 1890.[2] In 1890, The New York Times wrote of Norton: "it is safe to say there will not be a better second baseman in the Triangular League. He batted fairly well last year, and has improved much since the first championship game last Spring."[3] He graduated from Dartmouth in 1890,[2] and then attended Yale Law School.[4]
In 1894, Norton coached the Brown University football team and amassed a record of 10–5.[5] In November 1894, Norton left Providence, Rhode Island for Florida. His burnt body was discovered on February 3, 1895, in a cabin on the Indian River, an apparent victim of murder.[4]
