William Prunier (born 14 August 1967 in Montreuil) is a French former footballer.

He played in the centre back position. Prunier was a product of a famous AJ Auxerre youth team which also included Eric Cantona, Basile Boli, Pascal Vahirua and Daniel Dutuel, all under the tutelage of Guy Roux.

After spending many years at Auxerre, he later moved on to Olympique Marseille and FC Girondins de Bordeaux.

He also earned 1 cap for France in August 1992, a 2-0 loss to Brazil.

In the 1995-96 season, Prunier had a fleeting and forgettable tenure at Manchester United.

Having bought out his contract with Bordeaux, he joined the Old Trafford club on a trial basis where he was reunited with Cantona.

At the time, the manager Alex Ferguson had been looking for a continental-style defender with good passing skills.
