Don Williams (born 3 November 1935 - died in the late 1990s) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne during the 1950s and 60s.

Williams was a half back flanker and five time premiership player with Melbourne, including their successive triumphs in 1955, 1956 and 1957. After being dropped to the bench in the 1959 grand final he decided to leave the club and spent the 1960 season with West Perth, who won the WAFL Grand Final in that year. He represented Western Australia in the Brisbane Carnival where Western Australia defeated Victoria for the first time.

He returned to the Melbourne Football Club in 1964 and played in that year's 4 point Grand Final win over Collingwood.

In 2000 he was named on the half back flank in Melbourne's official 'Team of the Century'.
