William Wild Bill Langer (September 30 1886 – November 8 1959) was a prominent US politician from North Dakota. Langer is one of the most colorful characters in North Dakota history most famously bouncing back from a scandal that forced him out of the governor’s office and into prison. He served as the 17th and 21st Governor of North Dakota from 1933 to 1934 and from 1937 to 1939. Langer also served in the United States Senate from 1940 to 1959 when he died in office.
