William 'Bill' Rigby (9 June 1921 – 1 June 2010) was an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He was born in Chester.

A product of the youth system at his hometown club of Chester, Rigby made his only peacetime first-team appearance for the club in their first post-war match in The Football League in a 4–4 draw at York City on 31 August 1946. After this he was not selected again, with goalkeeping duties being passed on to George Scales and Jimmy MacLaren.

Earlier he had made appearances for the first-team during the war years, mainly during 1940–41 and 1941–42 while understudy to Bill Shortt.
