Sir William Duff-Gordon, 2nd Baronet (8 April 1772 – 8 March 1823), known as William Gordon until 1815, was a Scottish politician.
Duff-Gordon was the son of the Hon. Alexander Gordon, Lord Rockville, son of William Gordon, 2nd Earl of Aberdeen. His mother was Anne, daughter of William Duff. He was returned to Parliament as one of two representatives for Worcester in 1807, a seat he held until 1818. In 1815 he succeeded his uncle Sir James Duff, 1st Baronet, as second Baronet of Halkin according to a special remainder, and assumed the same year by Royal license the additional surname of Duff.
Duff-Gordon married Caroline Cornewall in 1810. He died in March 1823, aged 50, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Alexander.
