William Agnew (9 January 1898 – ?) was a Scottish footballer who played as a forward for Pollok, Ayr United, Falkirk, Port Vale, Arthurlie, and Luton Town.
Agnew played for Pollok, Ayr United and Falkirk, before moving down to England to sign with Port Vale in September 1921.[2] He hit a total of five goals in 31 appearances in the 1921–22 season, and scored his first goal in the Second Division on 29 October, in a 1–0 win at South Shields.[2] However, he was used more sparingly the next season. He scored just one goal in 11 games.[2] After undergoing cartilage operations in the spring of 1923 he was released from his contract at The Old Recreation Ground.[2] He moved on to Arthurlie of the Scottish Third Division, and then returned to the Football League to play for Luton Town.[2]
