Mark L. Williams (born April 13, 1983) is an indigenous Australian rules footballer who currently plays with Hawthorn. He is not to be confused with Mark M. Williams, the Port Adelaide coach and former Collingwood and Brisbane Bears Australian rules footballer.

Making his debut in 2002, Williams is used as a small forward, and came of age in 2005, when he kicked 63 goals, making him the leading goal kicker of the club. Known for his flamboyance, pace, and use of the "shotgun" (a trademark celebration sometimes used after kicking a goal) Williams is one of a number of young players at Hawthorn.

During the 2006 season, Williams has done away with the "shotgun" and produced the "slicer", a cutting motion done using his hand.

Williams finished 2006 with a total of 60 goals, and once again was the leading goalkicker at the club.
