William Pelham Bullivant (1858 - 26 March 1910) was a businessman and Conservative politician. Bullivant was the proprietor of a wire rope manufacturing business in Millwall, and a large employer in the area. Nominated by the Conservatives to contest the first elections to the London County Council in January 1889, his prominence as an employer allowed him to win a seat in the largely working class Tower Hamlets (Poplar) electoral district. He took his seat as a member of the Conservative-backed Moderate Party on the council, which formed the opposition group. He held the seat for only a single three-year term, and was defeated by Will Crooks, a Labour-Progressive candidate in 1892.
