William Jennings Cleveland, Sr., known as Bill Cleveland (October 19, 1902 — December 16, 1974), was a real estate developer from Crowley, Louisiana, who served as a Democrat from 1944 to 1964 in both houses, consecutively, of the Louisiana State Legislature. Cleveland is best known for having been defeated in his bid for a third term in the Louisiana State Senate by fellow Crowley Democrat Edwin Edwards, a lawyer who subsequently served less than two years in that body but in time became his state's only four-term governor.
