William 'Bill' Koop (21 March 1906 14 April 1950)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1920s.

Koop did not make much of an impact at Carlton in his four seasons but had a successful career in the Victorian Football Association. A key position defender, he was a centre half-back in Northcote's 1929 premiership team. He then enjoyed some individual success at Prahran, winning the 1931 Recorder Cup. Koop was also a premiership player with Prahran in 1937.

The 146 game Prahran veteran was named, in 2003, on the interchange bench in their official 'Team of the Century'.
