William Wesley Hicks (July 9, 1843 – September 23, 1925) was a Democrat from Shongaloo, Louisiana, who served in the Louisiana House of Representatives for Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana from 1900 to 1904, during the administration of Governor William Wright Heard.
After his single term in the House ended, Hicks was succeeded by the Minden lawyer, E. L. Stewart. Hicks was then elected to a single four-year term as the Ward 1 representative on the Webster Parish Police Jury, the parish governing board akin to the county commission in most other states.
A native of Darlington County in northeastern South Carolina, Hicks was living in Alabama at the time of the American Civil War. He served as a private in Company C of the Third Alabama Regiment. He and his wife, the former Mary Jane Kea (1850-1918), an Alabama native, whom he outlived by seven years, had a son, Robert Lee Hicks (1869-1941). William and Mary Hicks are interred at the Gilgal Baptist Church Cemetery near Minden but in Claiborne Parish.
