William "Will" Borgen (born December 19, 1996) is an American professional ice hockey player who is a defenseman for the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in the fourth round, 92nd overall, of the 2015 NHL entry draft.

Growing up in Moorhead, Minnesota, Borgen began his hockey career with Moorhead High School. Following his third year with the team, Borgen joined the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League. Borgen then opted to join St. Cloud State University of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference, where he played for the better part of three years. While Borgen was drafted by the Buffalo Sabres in 2015, he only joined the organization in 2017, after his third year with St. Cloud, playing with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League. He made his NHL debut with Buffalo in 2019, the team for which he would play for until 2021, when he was selected by the Seattle Kraken in the 2021 NHL expansion draft. Midway through his fourth year with Seattle, Borgen was traded to the New York Rangers for Kaapo Kakko, along with draft picks.

Internationally, Borgen has represented the United States at the 2016 World Junior Championships. He was named to the roster for the 2018 Winter Olympics, but he did not see any ice time.
