William Joseph Hafey (March 19, 1888 – May 12, 1954) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Raleigh (1925–1937) and Bishop of Scranton (1938–1954).
William Hafey was born in Chicopee, Massachusetts, to James and Catherine (née Mulcahy) Hafey. He attended Holy Cross College in Worcester, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in 1909. From 1909 to 1910, he studied at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. He then attended Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
Hafey was ordained to the priesthood on June 16, 1914. He then served as a curate at St. Joseph's Church in Baltimore until 1920, when he became chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
On April 6, 1925, Hafey was appointed the first Bishop of Raleigh, North Carolina, by Pope Pius XI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following June 24 from Archbishop Michael Joseph Curley, with Bishops Thomas Michael O'Leary and Michael Joseph Keyes, S.M., serving as co-consecrators.
