Bill Sheridan (born January 27, 1959) is the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants of the National Football League. Prior to being the defensive coordinator he was the Giants linebackers coach.

Sheridan replaced Steve Spagnuolo after he left to take the head coaching position with the St. Louis Rams. Sheridan had been the linebackers coach for the Giants for the previous four seasons after his hiring in 2005. Giants' head coach Tom Coughlin promoted Sheridan over secondary coach Peter Giunta.
