William Dion Venable (born October 29, 1982) is an American professional baseball outfielder who is currently a free agent. He has played in MLB for the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Dodgers. Venable is the son of former Major League outfielder Max Venable as well as the older brother of Canadian Football League safety Winston Venable.

Venable played basketball for Princeton University, as well as San Rafael High School. He was the second athlete to earn first-team All-Ivy League honors in both baseball and basketball. In the 2005 MLB Draft, the Padres selected Venable in the seventh round. He made his major league debut on August 29, 2008, against the Colorado Rockies, collecting his first hit. Although he broke into the Major Leagues as a center fielder, he has played mostly right field since his second season. Venable has frequently batted lead off and has on several occasions come within one hit of the cycle. As of November 2013^[update], he has finished among the top ten in the National League in triples four times and in stolen bases twice. He has the most Major League Baseball career hits and home runs of any Princeton alumnus.
