William Caven Moscrip (8 August 1852 – 7 January 1911) was a Canadian politician from Ontario. He briefly represented Perth South in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. In the 1898 Ontario general election, he was originally declared defeated by Conservative candidate Samuel Nelson Monteith but Moscrip appealed and was declared elected. A further appeal meant that a by-election was triggered in which Monteith was elected.
