Louis Will (1857 – 1932) was Progressive Party mayor of Syracuse, New York from 1914 to 1916. He was the only third party candidate elected mayor of Syracuse in the last century.^[1] In a year with low voter turnout, Will was elected with only 9,858 votes.^[2]

Born to German immigrants Anton and Rosina Will, he left school early after the death of his father to run the family candlemaking business, now known as Will & Baumer.^[3]

His home, the Louis Will House, a large Queen Anne-style brick house, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.^{[citation needed]}
