Gareth Williams, born 12 March 1967 in Newport, Isle of Wight, England is an English professional footballer. He usually plays in midfield, but can also play as a winger.

He started his career in 1985, coming through the ranks at Hampshire League side East Cowes Victoria Athletic, where he stayed for a year. After an impressive season, he was snapped up by Gosport Borough. He then progressed to play professionally for league teams like Aston Villa, Barnsley, Hull City, Bournemouth, Northampton Town and Scarborough. He then went into non-league football with Ilkeston Town and Gainsborough Trinity.

Williams was originally signed by Matlock in 2002 as a player, but was made joint player-manager in 2004 after previous boss Ernie Moss left to manage Hucknall Town. He left in 2010.
