Bill Twomey Jr. (28 September 1927 – 1 October 1996) was an Australian rules footballer, who played in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Twomey had a 14-season, 189 game league career that spanned a Copeland Trophy in 1956, membership of Collingwood's 1953 premiership side, and regular interstate selection for the VFL.

Bill's brother Michael played 157 games for the Woods between 1951 and 1961, while Pat had two brief stints with the club which amounted to 55 games. The three brothers' nephew David later also played with the Magpies and Bill's father Bill Twomey Sr. played with them during the 1920s.
