William Paul Joseph McCrossan (born May 20, 1942) is an actuary and former Canadian Member of Parliament.
McCrossan was born in Toronto. An actuary by profession, McCrossan has served as president of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries. He was employed by Canada Life Assurance prior to being elected to the House of Commons.
He represented the riding of York—Scarborough as a Progressive Conservative from 1978, when he was elected in a by-election until his defeat in the 1980 general election. As an MP, he introduced a private member's bill, Bill C-255, the Public Pensions Reporting Act, which passed unanimously. He also supported the passage of the Non-smokers' Rights Act, which was introduced by a New Democratic Party member of parliament, Lynn McDonald.
He was re-elected in the 1984 election, but lost to Liberal Jim Karygiannis in the redistributed riding of Scarborough—Agincourt in the 1988 election.
He attempted to return to politics in the riding of Scarborough East in the 2000 federal election but was defeated.
