William Henry Brisbane Sr. (October 12, 1806 – April 5, 1878) was a Baptist minister of Antebellum South Carolina, who, having convinced himself of the immorality of slavery, freed and settled a group of slaves he had inherited, and became an active abolitionist.

His former home near Arena, Wisconsin, the William Henry Brisbane House, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
