William Franklin Whitrock (Wittrock) (March 4, 1870 – July 26, 1935) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played from 1890 to 1896 with four teams. He had a career record of 9-19.

He was born in Cincinnati and died in Derby, Connecticut. His family name was Wittrock but a misspelling at the start of his career remained permanently in league records. One of 11 children with 7 brothers, "Bill" was born to German immigrants John Henry and Elisabeth (nee Kluesner) Wittrock.
