William John "Billy" Gordon is an Australian politician. He was elected as a Labor member for Cook in the Queensland Legislative Assembly at the 2015 election before becoming an independent two months later. Gordon is one of the first indigenous members in a generation. Gordon first entered politics as the Labor candidate in the federal seat of Leichhardt for the 2013 election, losing to Liberal National incumbent Warren Entsch. However, he increased his profile enough that he was able to successfully stand in the state seat of Cook, essentially the far northern portion of the federal seat.
