William Quarles (1800–1879) was an English cricketer associated with Norfolk who was active in the 1820s. He also played for Suffolk. Quarles' batting style is unknown.
Quarles made a single appearance for Norfolk against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Lord's in 1820. The MCC scored 473 all out in their first-innings, in response Norfolk managed just 92, with Quarles batting at number eleven and ending unbeaten on 0. The MCC fared less well in their second-innings with a total of 108. This gave them a lead of 489 over Norfolk, which was more than enough as Norfolk were dismissed for 72, with Quarles himself making 2 runs before he was dismissed by William Ward. The MCC's final margin of victory was 417 runs. A decade later he appeared in his second match, this time for Suffolk against the MCC at Field Lane, Bury St Edmunds.
