William Brent Cotter KC is a former member of the Senate of Canada from the province of Saskatchewan. On January 31, 2020, Cotter was nominated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to fill a vacant Senate seat for Saskatchewan.[1][2][3] He retired on December 18, 2024 upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75.

Cotter was formerly dean of law at the University of Saskatchewan and was one of the first professors and writers in the field of legal ethics in Canada.[4] He is one of the founding members of the Canadian Association for Legal Ethics.[5] Prior to his academic career, Cotter was a public servant for the government of Saskatchewan and served as Deputy Minister of Justice and Deputy Attorney General and has also served as the province's Deputy Minister of Intergovernmental and Aboriginal Affairs.[1][6] As of 2021, he supported Canadian legalized gambling.[5]

He submitted an application to serve on the senate in 2018.[7] He has stated that he applied because the senate was less politically partisan than it was in the past,[7] and that he became interested when "changes were made to appoint people to Senate who were more diverse and less politically aligned".[8] He was the sponsor of Bill C-22 in the Senate, which established the Canada Disability Benefit.[9][10]
