William Darke (1736 – November 26, 1801) was an American soldier. In 1740, he moved from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Virginia. He was in Edward Braddock's army in the defeat in 1755 and was made a captain at the beginning of the American Revolutionary War. He was made prisoner at the Battle of Germantown and was commanding colonel of the Hampshire and Berkeley regiments at the capture of Cornwallis. Darke was often a member of the Virginia legislature and, during the convention of 1788, voted for the Federal Constitution.
