Willian Lanes de Lima or simply Lima (born February 10, 1985 in Ribeirão Preto), is a Brazilian central defender. He currently plays for Betis.

Lima was signed by Betis from Atlético Mineiro one day before the end of the 2007 summer transfer window (August 30) after some problem obtaining an Italian passport in order to qualify for EU citizenship. His official unveiling by the club was postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Antonio Puerta, who played for local rivals Sevilla. His contract runs until July 2012.
