Bill "The Undertaker" Baker (born August 29, 1944) was a defensive end in the Canadian Football League. He played in a total of 174 games over eleven seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders (1968–1973, 1977-1978) and BC Lions (1974–1976). He was a Division All-Star five times, and won the CFL's Most Outstanding Defensive Player Award in 1976. He was inducted to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 1994, and in 2006 was listed at #43 on the TSN Top 50 CFL Players list.
Baker played junior football for the Regina Rams in 1963, and college football at Otterbein College, where he was a First Team All-Star for four years. His credo was "your opponents are only as tough as you let them be." According to the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, "a Baker forearm to the head was greatly respected by opposing quarterbacks who came within range."
