Captain William (Billy One-Hand) Condon was an English pirate. His ship was called the Fiery Dragon and was found by Barry Clifford off the coast of Sainte-Marie, Madagascar, where it had caught fire and sunk in 1721.

He retired and settled on Réunion in 1721. He later moved to Normandy in 1723 and worked as a merchant and shipowner.
