William Hopoate also known as Viliami in Tongan (born 9 May 1992) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the National Rugby League. A New South Wales State of Origin and New South Wales City representative, he plays at centre, fullback and wing and previously played for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles and Parramatta Eels. He is the son of former Australian international, John Hopoate.

Hopoate attended Cromer Campus and represented Australian Schoolboys rugby league team. He is of Tongan descent.

He joined Manly's squads in 2009 at the age of 16 and played the entire year in the Sea Eagles Toyota Cup. He primarily played at fullback but also played on the wing and in the centres. Despite a season-ending injury to Manly 1st-grade fullback Brett Stewart in Round 1 of the 2010 NRL season, Hopoate had to wait until Round 13 to make his debut as coach Des Hasler preferred to use Ben Farrar in the custodian role.
