William Edward Cousins (August 20, 1902 – September 14, 1988) was an American Catholic prelate who served as Archbishop of Milwaukee from 1958 to 1977. He previously served as an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Chicago (1948–1952) and as Bishop of Peoria (1952–1958).
Cousin's reputation was tainted by allegations of his covering up sexual abuse by priests, prompting the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to remove his name from its pastoral center in 2019.
