William Alexander "Wil" Trapp (born January 15, 1993) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Columbus Crew SC in Major League Soccer and the United States national team.

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Trapp is a product of Columbus Crew SC and a former varsity player at Lincoln High School where he led them to the Division 1 State Championship in 2009 and earned the 2010 NSCAA National High School Player of the Year award. Trapp went to the University of Akron where he started in 45 games for the team from 2011 to 2012, scoring once.

During his youth career in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, Trapp received many accolades. With the Crew Academy side, Trapp won the Crew Soccer Academy Player of the Year twice, in 2009 and again in 2010. He was also given the honor of captaining the Crew U16 and U18 sides. While with Akron, Trapp won two All-MAC First Team honors in 2011 and 2012 and Third Team NSCAA All-American honors in 2012. He also helped the Crew Academy win the 2012 U-19 NYSA National Championship, the team's third in four years.

On December 13, 2012 it was announced that Trapp had signed a homegrown contract with the Columbus Crew SC of Major League Soccer. He then made his professional debut with the side in a league match on July 6, 2013 against the Portland Timbers at MAPFRE Stadium in which he started and played the full 90 minutes as the Crew won the match 1–0, ending the Timbers' 15-match unbeaten streak.

On September 13, 2014, Trapp scored his first professional goal, in a 2–2 draw at the Houston Dynamo.
