William "Bill" Klika, Jr. (born June 28, 1945) was the first head football coach for the Fairleigh Dickinson University–Florham (FDU) Devils football program in Florham Park, New Jersey. An NCAA Division III program, FDU began its football program in 1974 and hired then 27-year-old Klika as its first coach. Klika remained in charge of the program from 1974 through 1996, took a three-year hiatus to serve as FDU's full-time athletic director, and then returned for two final seasons in 2000 and 2001. He compiled an overall record of 66–155–1.
