William Morrison Oliver (October 15, 1792 – July 21, 1863) was an American politician, and a United States Representative for the state of New York, and Acting Lieutenant Governor of New York.
Born in Londonderry, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, Oliver received limited schooling; studied law in Springfield, under the direction of Judge Morse in Cherry Valley, Otsego County. He was admitted to the bar about 1812 and began practice in Penn Yan.
Oliver was First Judge of the Yates County Court from 1823 to 1828, and from 1838 to 1844. He was a member of the New York State Senate (7th D.) from 1827 to 1830, sitting in the 50th, 51st, 52nd and 53rd New York State Legislatures. In 1830, he was elected President pro tempore of the State Senate and was Acting Lieutenant Governor until the end of the year.
Elected as a Democrat to the 27th United States Congress, Oliver was United States Representative holding office from March 4, 1841, to March 3, 1843. Afterwards he became clerk of the New York Supreme Court, and was President of the Yates County Bank from the issuance of its charter until 1857.
Oliver died in Penn Yan, Yates County, New York, on July 21, 1863 (age 70 years, 279 days). He is interred at Lake View Cemetery, Penn Yan, New York.
