William Battie-Wrightson (6 October 1789 – 10 February 1879)[1] was a British landowner and Whig politician.

He was the elder son of William Wrightson of Cusworth Hall, near Doncaster, MP for Aylesbury. Battie-Wrightson was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge (1812), and trained for the law at Lincoln's Inn, being called to the bar in 1815. He succeeded his father to the Cusworth estate in 1827.

He was elected MP for East Retford in 1826 and then sat for Kingston upon Hull from 1830 to 1832 and for Northallerton from 1835 to 1865.

He married Georgiana, the daughter of Inigo Freeman Thomas of Ratton Park, Sussex.
