William Smallman (c. 1615 – 1643) of Kinnersley Castle, Herefordshire was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons in 1640.

In April 1640, Smallman was elected Member of Parliament for Leominster in the Short Parliament. Smallman was one of the "Nine Worthies" – nine justices who formed the royalist leadership in Herefordshire in the summer of 1642.
