William J. Wallace was the seventh mayor of the city of Indianapolis, Indiana and the first Republican to hold that office. Wallace won a special election in 1856 following the death of mayor Henry F. West and the short interim of Charles G. Coulon. Wallace resigned his post in May 1858. His son Henry R. Wallace was also mayor (1913–1914).[1]
