William McCourty (1884 – 10 December 1917) was an English professional footballer born in Morpeth, Northumberland, who played in the Football League for Birmingham. McCourty, a former coal miner who played at left half, joined Birmingham in May 1909. He made his debut in the Second Division on 13 September 1909, deputising for the injured Tommy Daykin in a home game against Glossop which finished as a 2–2 draw, and was never picked again, returning to non-league football the following year.
