William Russell Endean (born 31 May 1924 in Johannesburg, Transvaal, died 28 June 2003 in Kingston upon Thames, England) was a South African cricketer who played in twenty eight Tests from 1951 to 1958.

Endean had a part in two highly unusual Test match dismissals: he was the wicket-keeper whom Len Hutton obstructed leading to Hutton's being given out obstructing the field; and Endean himself was given out handled the ball.
