InfoWilliam J. Riley (b. 1947 in Lincoln, Nebraska) is a federal judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. He was nominated by President George W. Bush on May 23, 2001 to a seat vacated by Judge Clarence Arlen Beam. He was swiftly confirmed 97-0 by the United States Senate just over two months later on August 2, 2001. He was the first Bush nominee confirmed to the Eighth Circuit.

Following graduation, he was a law clerk to Eighth Circuit Judge Donald Lay, and then he was in private practice until his appointment to the Eighth Circuit.
