William Thomas Mansfield (1884 – 19 March 1939) was a British politician and trade unionist.

Born in Staithes in the North Riding of Yorkshire, Mansfield became the General Secretary of the Ironstone Miners' Association. He also became active in the Labour Party, and was appointed as an alderman on the North Riding of Yorkshire County Council.^[1]

At the 1924 general election, Mansfield stood in Cleveland for Labour, but was not elected. He stood again in 1929 and won the seat, but lost it at the 1931 general election, and failed to win it back in 1935.^[1]
