William Andrew Ogles IV (/ˈoʊɡəlz/ OH-gəlz; born June 18, 1971) is an American politician and businessman. He has been the U.S. representative for Tennessee's 5th congressional district since 2023. He is a member of the Republican Party. He was the mayor of Maury County, Tennessee, from 2018 to 2022.
Ogles has been seen as a far-right conservative. He is against abortion and same-sex marriage. He was one of the original 19 members of Congress to vote against Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House.
He is known as a strong supporter of President Donald Trump. During the attempts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, Ogles claimed that the election was stolen. He has proposed an amendment that would make Trump able to run for a third term.
In August 2026, Ogles lost the Republican nomination during his re-election campaign to former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher in 2026.
