William Romaine Callender Jr. (1825 – 22 January 1876) was a British businessman and Conservative politician.

He was the son of William Romaine Callender of

Anglican.[3] In 1849, he married Hannah Mayson.[3]

He entered his father's business as a

Sir Thomas Bazley in Bolton in 1861.[3][4]

Apart from his business activities he was a

freemason, and rose to be Deputy Grand Master of the Provincial Lodge of East Lancashire, and Grand Master of the Mark Masons of England.[1][3]

He was elected as a member of the first Manchester School Board in 1870, and in 1874 as one of three members of parliament for the Parliamentary Borough of Manchester, defeating the Liberal MP, Jacob Bright.

In November 1875 Callender fell ill after attending an Orange Order demonstration, and was advised to travel to the south coast to aid his recovery.[3] However, he died of "rheumatic neuralgia" at St Leonards-on-Sea, Sussex, in January 1876, aged 51.[4] A bust of the late MP was unveiled at Manchester Town Hall in 1880.[2]
