William "Billy" Connolly, Jr. (født 24. november 1942) er en skotsk komiker, musiker og skuespiller.

Startede sammen med Tam Harvey bandet Humblebums. Senere har han udviklet sig som komiker – og er mest kendt for dette. Billy Connolly har efterhånden medvirket i en del film, bl.a. kultfilmen The Boondock Saints fra 1999 og efterfølgeren The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day fra 2009.

Han fik konstateret Parkinsons sygdom i 2013.
