Ronald Watkins Williams (8 July 1907 –14 March 1958)[1] was a British Labour Party politician.

He was elected to the House of Commons as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wigan in a by-election in 1948,[2] following the death in 1947 of sitting Labour MP William Foster.

Williams was re-elected in this safe Labour seat at the 1950 general election and returned again at the 1955 general election, but died aged 50 in 1958.[1] At the subsequent by-election in 1958, the seat was held for Labour by Alan Fitch.
