William Brabazon, 9th Earl of Meath (6 July 1769 – 26 May 1797), styled Lord Brabazon from 1779 to 1790, was an Anglo-Irish peer.

The second son of Anthony Brabazon, 8th Earl of Meath and Grace Leigh, he became the heir apparent after the death of his elder brother Chaworth in 1779. He sat for Dublin County from 1789 until he succeeded his father in the peerage in 1790.[1]
