Sir William Lathlain (1862–1936) was the Mayor of the City of Perth in Western Australia from 1918 to 1923, and Lord Mayor from 1930 to 1932.[1]

Poems were written about him after his first mayoral role.[2]

He contested seats in state politics.[3]

He was involved in the process of establishing the War Memorial in Kings Park, and said of the establishment:

...not for the glorification of war, but in loving memory of men who paid the supreme sacrifice.

— Sir William Lathlain, November 1929, Mayors of the City of Perth 1914–1918 and their legacy in remembering World War[4]

The suburb of Lathlain was named after him.[5]
