William John Browning (born April 11, 1850) was a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from New Jersey. He represented New Jersey’s 1st Congressional District and served as a federal legislator during the early twentieth century. His service in Congress places him among the historical members who helped shape national policy during that era.

During this period, he was consistently affiliated with the Republican Party and represented the interests of his New Jersey constituents in the 1st District.
Throughout his congressional career, Browning held the formal role of Representative and is recorded as a former officeholder.
