William Ernest Fairbridge JP (2 November 1863 – 5 October 1943) was a newspaper publisher and municipal official during the early British occupation of Rhodesia. A man, "whose indomitable pluck in the face of endless discouragements deserves an honourable place in the history of journalistic enterprise," he published Rhodesia's first newspaper, the Mashonaland Herald and Zambesian Times in 1891. He also served as the first Mayor of Salisbury in 1897. He subsequently became a leading publishing executive with the Argus group of Newspapers in South Africa.
