William Woodward Brandon (June 5 1868–December 7 1934) was an American Democratic politician who was the Governor of Alabama from 1923 to 1927.

Brandon left the state for 21 days in 1924; under the 1910 state constitution, if a governor is out of the state for more than 20 days, the lieutenant governor becomes acting governor. Thus, Charles McDowell became governor of Alabama for July 10 and July 11, 1924.
