William Andreas Salius Fane de Salis (27 October 1812 – 3 August 1896) was a businessman, colonialist, and barrister.
De Salis was the third son of Jerome, 4th Count de Salis-Soglio (d. 1836), by his third wife, Henrietta Foster (d. 1856). Peter John Fane, Count de Salis was an elder half-brother. William Foster Stawell was a first cousin, and the poet Lord De Tabley was a nephew. Colonel Bisse-Challoner was a brother-in-law.

Professional life Perhaps as a result of the rapidly expanding Australian wool industry during the first decades of the 19th century, De Salis visited Australia in 1842, 1844 and again in 1848 to pursue business opportunities. His younger brother Leopold Fabius Fane de Salis had migrated there in 1840. William became, with John Thacker, a partner in Thacker & Co, Jardine Matheson’s affiliated house in Sydney, but resigned from 1 July 1847. By 1848 he owned with Robert Towns a 345 ton barque, the Statesman. This they sold, March 1854, for $16,500, she having had an accident 'on her passage up to China from Sydney' trading sandalwood, tea pines... On his return to England De Salis joined the Grand Junction Canal Co in 1850 and held the following appointments: Directorship of the Union Bank of Australia; Director of the Australian Agricultural Co (AAco) and its offshoot the Peel River Land and Mineral Co Ltd; Director of the Marine and General Mutual Life Assurance Society; Director and later chairman of the Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Company. He was a director between 1851-1895 and was elected chairman in 1878-1881; Deputy-chairman then chairman of the London Chartered Bank of Australia from 1852 to 1874/80. Personal life In the early 1850s he lived between the Jerusalem Coffee House; Dawley Lodge (near Hillingdon); 1, Upper Belgrave street; 24 Wilton street, and 107 Eaton square. From the late 1850s he lived at Dawley Court, near Hillingdon, Middlesex and Teffont Manor, Teffont Evias, Wiltshire, home of his wife Emily Harriet (d 24 July 1896), eldest daughter of John Thomas Mayne, who he had married on 12 March 1859. He was a Fellow of the Geological Society and of the Royal Geographical Society, JP for Middlesex, (1868), Lord of the Manor and Patron of the Living of Teffont, and JP for Wiltshire. He co-founded the Harlington, Hounslow and Cranford Cottage Hospital in 1884. He left Dawley to his youngest brother's second son, one of whose younger brothers was Charles Fane de Salis. At his death he left effects valued at £147,382 6s 7d. His nephew Rodolph was executor. His wife had died a mere ten days earlier leaving £1,930.
