William J. Goebel (January 4, 1856 – February 3, 1900) was an American politician who served as Governor of Kentucky for a few days in 1900 after having been mortally wounded by an assassin the day before he was sworn in. Goebel remains the only state governor in the United States to be assassinated while in office. A skilled politician, Goebel was well able to broker deals with fellow lawmakers, and equally able and willing to break the deals if a better deal came along.

- William J. Goebel (January 4, 1856 – February 3, 1900) was an American politician who served as Governor of Kentucky for a few days in 1900 after having been mortally wounded by an assassin the day before he was sworn in. Goebel remains the only state governor in the United States to be assassinated while in office. A skilled politician, Goebel was well able to broker deals with fellow lawmakers, and equally able and willing to break the deals if a better deal came along. His tendency to use the state's political machinery to advance his personal agenda earned him the nicknames "Boss Bill", "the Kenton King", "Kenton Czar", "King William I", and "William the Conqueror". Goebel's abrasive personality made him many political enemies, but his championing of populist causes, like railroad regulation, also won him many friends. This conflict of opinions came to a head in the Kentucky gubernatorial election of 1900. Goebel, a Democrat, divided his party with self-serving political tactics at a time when Kentucky Republicans were finally gaining strength, having elected the party's first governor four years previously. These dynamics led to a close contest between Goebel and William S. Taylor. In the politically chaotic climate that resulted, Goebel was assassinated. The identity of his assassin remains an unsolved mystery to this day.
- William J. Goebel war ein US-amerikanischer Politiker und Gouverneur von Kentucky.
- William J. Goebel (4 Enero 1856 - 3 Febrero 1900), fue un político estadounidense que desempeñó el cargo de Gobernador de Kentucky solo por unos días del 1900, después de haber sido herido de muerte por un asesino el día antes de jurar el cargo. Goebel sigue siendo el único Gobernador de EE. UU asesinado mientras desempeñaba el cargo. Un hábil político, Goebel era muy capaz de aceptar ofertas de sus compañeros legisladores, e igualmente capaz y dispuesto a romper los acuerdos si una oferta mejor llegaba. Su tendencia a utilizar la maquinaria política del Estado para avanzar en su agenda personal le valieron el apodo de "Boss Bill", "el rey de Kenton", "Kenton Zar", "Rey William I" y "Guillermo el Conquistador". La personalidad mordaz de Goebel le procuró muchos enemigos políticos, pero su defensa de causas populistas, como la regulación del ferrocarril, también le ganó muchos amigos. Este conflicto de opiniones llegó al máximo en la elección a gobernador de Kentucky de 1900. Goebel, un demócrata, dividió a su partido utilizando la táctica política para resultar elegido, en un momento en que los republicanos de Kentucky estaban finalmente ganando fuerza, tras conseguir su primer gobernador cuatro años antes. Esta dinámica llevó a una lucha cerrada entre Goebel y William S. Taylor. En el clima político caótico que resultó, fue asesinado Goebel. La identidad de su asesino sigue siendo un misterio sin resolver hasta nuestros días.
