Glyndwr James John "Glyn" Williams (born 3 November 1918 in Maesteg) is a former Welsh professional footballer.
Williams began his career playing for Caerau as an amateur, helping them win the Welsh amateur cup in 1946 and, despite only having played a handful of games, following the return of the Football League after World War II he signed for Cardiff City. He made his debut in January 1947 in a 1-0 win over Aldershot, during a season in which Cardiff gained promotion to the second division. His versatility, being able to play anywhere in defence, saw him become a regular for the side and at the end of the 1950-51 season his form lead to his first and only Wales cap when he played against Switzerland. However, at the end of the following season, he was released by the club and returned to non-league Welsh football.
