William Thomas Strydom (21 March 1942 – 20 February 1995) was a South African first-class cricketer who played with Orange Free State in the Currie Cup from 1961 to 1981.[1]

A right-arm medium pace bowler, Strydom was one of four brothers to play for Orange Free State.[2] He had his best season in 1976–77 when he took 29 wickets at 22.75.[3] This led to his selection as one of the winners of the South African Cricket Annual Cricketer of the Year award in 1977. His best first-class figures were 5 for 52 against Griqualand West in 1978–79.[4]

Strydom was shot and killed in 1995 during a robbery at his business premises at Pietermaritzburg.[2]
