William Henry Egan (14 February 1869 – 10 September 1943) was Labour MP for Birkenhead West.

Egan was active in the Labour Party in Birkenhead, and served as secretary of the town's trades council. He stood unsuccessfully in Birkenhead West at the 1918 and 1922 United Kingdom general elections, before winning the seat in 1923. Although he lost it in 1924, he regained it in 1929, before finally losing it in 1931.[1]

Egan also served on Birkenhead Town Council, and was Mayor of Birkenhead in 1939/40 and 1941/42.[1]
