William of Bavaria-Munich (1435–1435) was a German nobleman. He was the son of Margaret of Cleves and her first husband William III, Duke of Bavaria. He was born after his father’s death and died in infancy, being buried in the church of the Carmelites in Straubing. His elder brother Adolf nominally ruled as duke alongside his uncle Ernest and his cousin Albert III until he died at age seven.
