William D. Casey (born February 19, 1945 in Amherst, Nova Scotia) is a Canadian politician.
Casey was a businessman and stockbroker before going into politics. Casey is a member of the Conservative Party of Canada caucus in the Canadian House of Commons. He was first elected, as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, to represent the riding of Cumberland—Colchester in the 1988 election. In common with almost every other PC Member of Parliament (MP) in the 1993 election he lost his seat, in his case being defeated by Liberal candidate Dianne Brushett.
In the 1997 election, he retook the seat, defeating Brushett, and has represented it since then. In 2004, the PC Party merged into the new Conservative Party.
He was the Deputy Whip of the Official Opposition from 2004 until the 2006 election, and has served as the Progressive Conservative critic of Transport, International Trade, National Revenue, and Foreign Affairs.
