William Abell (16 April 1874 – 10 June 1960) was an Australian cricketer. He played one first-class match for Queensland in 1902.[1]
As of 1896 Abell was playing for Glenolive Cricket Club in senior cricket.[2] By 1899, after Brisbane electoral cricket was established, he was playing for Toowong representing their B team.[3]
In December 1902 Abell represented Queensland in a first-class game against New South Wales which was the first between the states since 1899.
