Billy Urquhart (born 22 November 1956 in Inverness, Scotland) is a former Scottish professional football player who is a product of the Scottish Highland Football League and is best known for his time with his home town club, Inverness Caledonian FC. He was an 'old style' centre forward and prolific goalscorer who scored 365 goals in 601 appearances for Caley.

Urquhart started his career at Inverness Caledonian then following a pre-season friendly against Rangers at Telford Street Park, Inverness, in July 1978 in which he scored all 3 Caley goals as Rangers won 6-3, he transferred to Rangers FC in 1978 for a transfer fee of £25k. He was manager John Griegs' first signing as Rangers boss. He remained at Ibrox for two years before moving south to Wigan Athletic for one season in the English Football League. When Urquhart received a free transfer from Wigan Athletic in June 1981, he immediately signed for Northwich Victoria FC in the now, Football Conference. However, within weeks of signing for Northwich, and prior to the commencement of season 1981/82, Urquhart was released from his contract with Northwich as he returned home to Inverness and signed for his 'first love', Inverness Caledonian FC in August 1981 and remained at the club until its amalgamation into Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 1994. He also remained at the newly formed Scottish League Club for one season before retiring in May 1995.
