William Thornton (1816 – 29 September 1858), alias Sydney Jim, was an English convict who was transported to the penal colony of New South Wales in 1836. He was later transferred to Tasmania, where he escaped and, in 1858, formed part of the colony's last bushranging gang. After committing numerous raids and robberies across Tasmania, he was killed in a shootout with the police.
