Arnold Williams (May 22, 1898 in Fillmore, Utah – May 25, 1970 in Rexburg, Idaho) served as Governor of Idaho from 1945 until 1947.

Williams was elected Idaho lieutenant governor in 1944. He became governor in November 1945 to finish the unexpired term of Charles C. Gossett, who resigned and was subsequently appointed by Williams to the United States Senate seat left vacant by the death of John W. Thomas. Williams became the state's first Mormon governor.

Williams was the Democratic nominee for governor in 1946. He was defeated by Republican C. A. Robins.

Later Williams was elected Secretary of State of Idaho, serving in that position from 1959 to 1966.

Williams is buried in Fielding Memorial Park Cemetery in Idaho Falls.
