William Jerome Lampley (November 9, 1876 – January 7, 1944) was a provincial politician from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1935 to 1940 sitting with the governing Social Credit caucus.

He won a hotly contested race on the third count over four other candidates including incumbent William Bailey who finished third.

Lampley ran for a second term in the 1940 Alberta general election. He contested a straight fight against Independent candidate Eld Martin. Lampley was defeated by just 139 votes.
