William Hough (4 March 1908 – ?) was a Welsh professional footballer. He played six seasons for Preston North End before joining Blackburn Rovers in 1937. Characterized as a "steady rather than a showy player", Hough established himself in the right-back position and helped Preston North End get promoted to the First Division in the 1933-34 season. He suffered a series of injuries and didn't see much playing time until his transfer to Blackburn.[1] He subsequently helped Blackburn get promoted to the First Division in the 1938-39 season. He played in the Blackburn side that faced West Ham in the 1940 Football League War Cup Final.
