William Tailer (1676 - March 8, 1732) was the son of Bostonian William Tailer and a Colonial-era politician. He was Captain of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company and in 1712 was one of the commissioners to treat with the Six Nations at Albany, New York, and commanded one of the regiments raised to take Port Royal.

Tailer was commissioned as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in April of 1711 and succeeded Joseph Dudley as acting Governor until the arrival of Samuel Shute.

Tailer also served as acting Governor in 1730, prior to the arrival of Jonathan Belcher. He is buried in the tomb of Governor William Stoughton, his uncle.
