William Yerby (1758–1824) was an American plantation owner and Mississippi state legislator. He operated a tavern. He lived in the vicinity of Pinckneyville, Wilkinson County, Mississippi and was a local justice of the peace during the territorial period. In August 1815 he wrote to Andrew Jackson to inform him of the "destruction of fort near Pinckneyville, Mississippi Territory, by local citizens," reporting that it had been stripped off everything of value down to the door hinges and nails. He was speaker of the Mississippi House of Representatives in 1822. His son William W. Yerby killed Isaac Guion's son, Army second lieutenant Frederick L. Guion (recently graduated from West Point), in a duel in 1824.
