King's likeness is used on the [[Canadian fifty-dollar note]] since 1975.

King left no published political memoirs, although his private diaries were extensively detailed. His main published work remains his 1918 book ''Industry and Humanity''.<ref name="Industry and Humanity" />

Following the publication of King's diaries in the 1970s, several fictional works about him were published by Canadian writers. These included Elizabeth Gourlay's novel ''Isabel'', [[Allan Stratton]]'s play ''Rexy'' and Heather Robertson's trilogy ''Willie: A Romance'' (1983), ''Lily: A Rhapsody in Red'' (1986), and ''Igor: A Novel of Intrigue'' (1989).<ref name="Diary">{{cite web|title=Behind the Diary: The Private Becomes Public: The Impact of the Diary|url=http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/king/023011-1030.02-e.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090704120348/http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/king/023011-1030.02-e.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=4 July 2009|website=A Real Companion and Friend: The Diary of William Lyon Mackenzie King|publisher=Library and Archives Canada|access-date=17 April 2018}}</ref>

In 1998, there was controversy over King's exclusion from a memorial to the [[Quebec Conference, 1943|Quebec Conference]], which was attended by King, Roosevelt, and Churchill. The monument was commissioned by the [[Quebec separatist|sovereigntist]] [[Parti Québécois]] government of Quebec, which justified the decision on their interpretation that King was acting merely as a host for the meeting between Roosevelt and Churchill. Canadian federalists, however, accused the government of Quebec of trying to advance their own political agenda.

[[OC Transpo]] has a [[Ottawa Rapid Transit|Transitway]] station named Mackenzie King due to its location on the [[Mackenzie King Bridge]]. It is adjacent to the [[Rideau Centre]] in downtown Ottawa, Ontario.

The bridge across the [[Rideau Canal]] in downtown Ottawa, built following World War II, is named in his honour to recognize his contributions to the land planning of the city of Ottawa.<ref name="Stacey 1976" />

King bequeathed his private country retreat in [[Kingsmere, Quebec]], near Ottawa, to the Government of Canada and most of the estate was incorporated into the federally managed [[Gatineau Park]]. King's summer home at Kingsmere, called "The Farm", now serves as the [[official residence]] of the [[Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada]]. The Farm and its grounds are located within Gatineau Park but are not open to the public.

The [[Woodside National Historic Site]] in [[Kitchener, Ontario]] was King's boyhood home. The estate has over 4.65 hectares of garden and parkland for exploring and relaxing, and the house has been restored to reflect life during King's era. There is a MacKenzie King Public School in the Heritage Park neighbourhood in Kitchener. Kitchener was known as Berlin until 1916.

King was mentioned in the book ''[[Alligator Pie]]'' by [[Dennis Lee (author)|Dennis Lee]], appearing as the subject of a [[Literary nonsense|nonsensical]] children's poem,<ref name="Diary" /> which reads "William Lyon Mackenzie King / He sat in the middle and played with string / He loved his mother like anything / William Lyon Mackenzie King."

King is a prominent character in [[Donald Jack]]'s novel ''Me Too'', set in Ottawa in the 1920s.

A character who appeared twice in the popular 1990s Canadian television series ''[[Due South]]'' was named "Mackenzie King" in obvious reference.

King is portrayed by [[Sean McCann (actor)|Sean McCann]] in [[Donald Brittain]]'s 1988 television miniseries ''[[The King Chronicle]]'',<ref>Ted Shaw, "Actor brings sympathy to King role".
