William Quincy MacLean Jr. was an American politician who served in the Massachusetts General Court from 1961 to 1993, serving in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1961 to 1981 and in the Massachusetts Senate from 1981 to 1993. A member of the Democratic Party, he was a part of House leadership from 1972 to 1978, serving as majority whip and then majority leader until he resigned from leadership amid a conflict with Speaker Thomas W.

He did not seek reelection in 1992 and was convicted of violating a conflict-of-interest law in 1993, paying the largest conflict-of-interest fine in state history and losing his pension.
