William Guy Banister (March 7, 1901 – June 6, 1964) was an employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), an assistant superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department, and a private investigator. After his death, he was accused by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison of involvement in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. In the late 1970s, the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) investigated Banister as part of its inquiry into a possible New Orleans connection to the JFK assassination.
