William "Smokes" Aloisio (October 9, 1906 – October 1979) was a Chicago mobster and "hitman" for the Chicago Outfit.

A former member of the [Forty-Two Gang] in Chicago, Aloisio's arrest record dated back to 1928. In 1945, Aloisio was sentenced to five years at Leavenworth Penitentiary, in Leavenworth, Kansas, for helping his brother avoid military conscription, during World War II. Aloiso had bribed U.S. Navy personnel in Chicago to make sure that his relative failed his physical examination.
