Neil FetzGerald Williams (born St Vincent July 2, 1962 – died March 27, 2006) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Middlesex and Essex. In a first class career spanning over 17 years he took 675 wickets and scored 4457 runs.

Williams played in one Test match in 1990 when on the day of the match Chris Lewis was injured and he was hurriedly drafted in. He took 2/148, taking the wickets of Sachin Tendulkar and Mohammad Azharuddin, and made 38 useful runs as night watchman.

He died of pneumonia three weeks after a stroke in 2006, aged 43.
