William George Helis Sr. (October 17, 1886 – July 25, 1950) was an impoverished Greek emigrant to the United States who made a fortune in the oil business and who became a major owner/breeder of Thoroughbred racehorses and racetrack owner. In his obituary, the Pittsburg Press called William Helis "one of the amazing figures of the American oilfields."

ウィリアム・ジョージ・ヘリス・シニア（William George Helis Sr.、1886年10月17日生まれ - 1950年7月25日没）は、ギリシャからアメリカへ移民した後、石油業によって貧民層から身を興し財を成した人物。その後、サラブレッド競走馬の生産者・大馬主となり、また競馬場のオーナーともなった。「The Pittsburgh Press」紙に掲載された訃報では、「米国石油業界の大人物の一人」と評した。

A resident and legal domicile of New Orleans, Louisiana, William Helis died at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. His remains were brought home to New Orleans where he was interred in the Metairie Cemetery. His mausoleum was built by American architect and sculptor, Albert Weiblen.
