Washington King (October 5, 1815– August 27, 1861) was the 15th mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, serving from 1855 to 1856.


Mayor King was a passenger on the Pacific Railroad excursion train that crashed through the temporary bridge over the Gasconade River on November 1, 1855. He was badly cut in the accident.[1] Subsequently he declared a day of mourning for the victims.


He is buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis.[2]
