'''ビル・テリー'''('''William Harold "Bill" Terry''', アメリカ・メジャーリーグで活躍した一塁手。ジョージア州アトランタ生まれ。左投げ左打ち。ニックネームは'''"Memphis Bill"'''（メンフィス・ビル）。

== 略歴 ==
1923年に、マイナーリーグのトレド球団からフレディ・リンドストロムとともにニューヨーク・ジャイアンツに入団、メジャーデビューを果たす。

1929年6月18日、テリーはダブルヘッダー2試合で計9安打する記録を作っている。以後現在まで、ナショナルリーグで1日9安打の記録が作られたことはない。

1930年、打率4割を超え首位打者を獲得するとともに254安打を記録し、それまでジョージ・シスラーが持っていたシーズン最多安打にあと3本のところまで迫った。2007年現在もなお、彼はナショナルリーグにおける「最後の4割打者」である。
1932年からは、前任のジョン・マグローの後を受けて監督兼任選手となり、1936年まで現役を続ける。監督兼任の間にリーグ優勝2回、ワールドシリーズを1回制覇しただけでなく、自身の打率も一度も3割を切ることがなかった。1941年にジャイアンツの監督を退く。

1954年、記者投票によりアメリカ野球殿堂入り選手に選出された。以後しばらくの間、野球殿堂のベテラン委員会に籍を置くが、この間の殿堂入り選手の選考について、一部問題視する向きもある(アメリカ野球殿堂の項を参照)。
1984年、ジャイアンツが彼の背番号『'''3'''』を永久欠番とした。1989年フロリダ州ジャクソンビルで逝去。
