William Townshend Mullins, 2nd Baron Ventry was an Anglo-Irish politician and peer.
Mullins was the son of Thomas Mullins, 1st Baron Ventry, and Elizabeth Gunn, the daughter of Townsend Gunn. He served as the Member of Parliament for Dingle between January and December 1800.

He was married three times: firstly in 1784 to Sarah Anne Falkiner, youngest daughter of Sir Riggs Falkiner, 1st Baronet, who died in 1788. He married secondly in 1790 Frances Sage; this marriage ended in 1796 with a divorce by Act of Parliament, by which both parties were free to remarry. His third wife was Clara Jones, who outlived him. He left daughters, but no surviving male issue, and was succeeded by his nephew, Thomas de Moleyns, 3rd Baron Ventry.
