William John Logan (August 2, 1891 — August 29, 1977) was an American football player and banker. Logan was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and attended Princeton University. He played college football for the Princeton Tigers and was a consensus first-team selection on the 1912 College Football All-America Team. He graduated from Princeton as part of the Class of 1913.
Logan later became a banker who served as senior vice president of Central Hanover Bank & Trust, a director of the War Production Board during World War II and director-general of the Allied Joint Export Import Agency in post-war Germany. He received the U.S. Army's Exceptional Civilian Service Award for his post-war efforts in laying the foundation for export programs in Germany and Japan that "sharply reduced their requirements for American assistance and materially increased their capacities for self support."
In July 1946, his wife was murdered, and the ensuing trial drew extensive coverage in the New York press.
In his later years, Logan lived in Middleburg, Virginia. He died there in 1977, aged 86.
