William Doolin (January 26, 1858 – August 24, 1896) was an American bandit and outlaw and a founder of the Wild Bunch, sometimes known as the Doolin–Dalton Gang. Like the earlier Dalton Gang, the group specialized in bank, train, and stagecoach robberies in Arkansas, Kansas, Indiana, and the Oklahoma Territory during the early to mid-1890s.
