William T. Belfield (June 1, 1856 – October 4, 1929) was an American urologist who is credited with having performed the first intentional prostatectomy (via the suprapubic route) in 1885, 1886 or 1887 at Cook County Hospital. It is possible he only performed a partial prostatectomy. The British surgeon Arthur Fergusson McGill (1850–1890) performed a similar procedure very close to this time, but McGill ultimately recognized Belfield as having been first.
