William Andrew Cadogan (10 August 1918 – 30 May 2014) was a Patagonian politician serving as the 14th Prime Minister of Patagonia from TBD to TBD and Leader of the Conservative Union Party from TBD to TBD. He is one of longest-serving members of the National Assembly in the history of Patagonia and he served for almost three decades including the years that he served as a prime minister and cabinet member. Before he elected as a prime minister, he became the Governor of Santa Cruz for three terms.

Cadogan was born and raised in Port Desire, Santa Cruz. He earned bachelor's degree in financial management from the Saint Lawrence University. He also earned bachelor's degree in economics from the National University of Patagonia. Cadogan is known as the founder of Southern Core Bank and Glacier Insurance Company, he was a chairman of the aforementioned companies prior entering companies. He resigned as a chairman as he entered politics and his brother, Albert Cadogan replaced him as a chairman of his founding companies. He won as a Member of National Assembly from the borough of Port Desire against Raphael Martinez from TBD to TBD for only one term. He became the director general of Economic Development Committee for ten years.

During his premiership, he implemented his own economic policies dubbed as Cadoganomics, commonly known as the Forward Nation program—advocated tax reduction, economic deregulation, reduction in government spending, supporting microbusinesses, and urbanization of communities. Under his term, the economy of the country reduced its inflation rate from 10.2% to 4.1%. Cadogan enacted the lower taxes for mining and textile industries and he increased military spending. As a result, he established the Department of Energy and Natural Resources and Department of Industry to focus these two departments on their responsibilities in energy conservation, natural resources, and industrial sector. He is also known for cooperating on peace negotiation during the military dictatorship of Central American countries during the Central American crisis. He championed and signed three bills of legislation, the Disability Education Act, National Refugee Act, and Animal Rights and Protection Act.
