Leila Williams (born 1937, in Walsall, England) is a former British beauty queen and television presenter.

In 1957, she was awarded the title of Miss Great Britain; then, a year later, she became the first female "Blue Peter" presenter, alongside Christopher Trace.

Williams left "Blue Peter" at the start of 1962, after being made redundant by a newly-appointed producer with whom she did not get on, and went on to appear in such films as "Watch Your Stern", "Marriage of Convenience" and "The Beauty Jungle".

She married Fred Mudd, the lead singer of the popular music group The Mudlarks and whilst they were touring in the early 1970s she worked as an assistant manager at a Dorothy Perkins clothing store in Harrow, London. The couple then ran pubs in Kingston-upon-Thames and Surbiton for many years. Today she lives in Spain.
