William Keith Weigand (born May 23, 1937) is an American Roman Catholic bishop, who served as the eighth Bishop of Sacramento in the U.S. state of California from 1993 to 2008. He previously served as the seventh Bishop of Salt Lake City and as a priest in the Diocese of Boise.

Weigand was born in Bend, Oregon, one of four sons of Harold and Alice Weigand. Weigand's minor seminary studies occurred at Mt. Angel Abbey and Seminary, where one of his brothers, Francis, is a Benedictine Monk. He graduated from St. Edward Seminary in Kenmore, Washington, in 1959 with a bachelor's degree in philosophy, and from St. Thomas Seminary in Kenmore in 1963 with a Master of Divinity degree. He was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Boise by Bishop Sylvester W. Treinen on May 25, 1963. He served as a parochial vicar in several parishes in the diocese, and as the administrator of several missions. He served from 1964–1968 as the chancellor and vice-officialis of the diocese, and was a member of the diocesan council of presbyters. In 1968, he moved to Cali, Colombia, as a missionary. He returned to Idaho in 1978 to serve as pastor of St. Hubert's Parish in Homedale, Idaho.
