William Pike Hall Sr. (October 19, 1896 – December 16, 1945), was an attorney, civic leader, and Democratic politician from Shreveport in northwestern Louisiana.
Hall was born in Mansfield, the seat of government of DeSoto Parish located south of Shreveport, the youngest of four children of Judge William Pike Hall (1851-1928), a native of Iredell County in west central North Carolina. Judge Hall presided over DeSoto and Red River parishes. The judge's first wife and Pike's mother, Lillian Ida Jack (1862-1898) of , died when young Pike was two years of age. The judge then married the former Elise Tally (died 1954), and they are interred together at Greenwood Cemetery in Shreveport.
Hall was a maternal nephew of Judge George W. Jack of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana and a cousin of Shreveport attorneys Whitfield Jack and Wellborn Jack, the latter a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for Caddo Parish from 1940 to 1964.
