Michael D. Williams (born January 11, 1980 in Dallas, Texas) is an American football offensive tackle in the National Football League, currently playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills out of the University of Texas with the fourth overall pick of the 2002 NFL Draft. In hindsight, many observers now consider the Tom Donahoe's decision to draft Williams to be one of his biggest mistakes as Bills GM.

While he provided fair run blocking on the right side, Williams failed to show a flair for pass blocking and remains an unpolished player to this day. Due to continued woes on the Bills' offensive line, Williams was moved by the coaching staff to left guard in order to assess his talents on the inside of the line. This tryout, though, was cut short by Williams' semi-frequent injuries.

After the 2005 season, Williams was cut. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on March 14, 2006. Unfortunately, he was placed on injured reserve on August 29, ending his season.
