William H. Craver (June 1844 - June 17, 1901) was an American Major League Baseball player from Troy, New York who played mainly as an infielder, but did play many games at catcher as well during his seven year career.

He played for seven different teams, in two leagues.

He was later expelled from the major leagues in the infamous Lousville gambling scandal in 1877.

Before his baseball career, he had served in the military during the Civil War with the 13th Heavy Artillery Regiment out of New York.

He enlisted on January 21, 1864, at age of 18, as a Private in Company K, and mustered out on June 28 in Norfolk, Virginia.
