The William Thornton is a fireboat operated by the city of Toronto. She was formerly a Canadian Coast Guard vessel, commissioned in 2015, to supplement the city's iconic William Lyon Mackenzie.

She is named in honour of William Thornton, the first firefighter to die in the line of duty, in Toronto.
