Christopher Anthony Williams (* 9. Juli 1980 in Birmingham, Alabama; † 15. März 2017 ebenda) war ein US-amerikanischer Basketballspieler. Der ehemalige Junioren-Nationalspieler wurde nach dem Ende seines Studiums nicht im Entry Draft der am höchsten dotierten Profiliga NBA ausgewählt und spielte zunächst in der National Basketball League in Australien, bevor er 2003 in die deutsche Basketball-Bundesliga zu den Skyliners Frankfurt kam, mit denen er 2004 deutscher Meister wurde. Ab 2005 spielte Williams – mit Ausnahme einer Spielzeit in der Türkei, wo er 2008 den nationalen Pokalwettbewerb gewann – hauptsächlich in Ostasien in südkoreanischen und chinesischen Profiligen. Bevor er 2013 seine aktive Karriere beendete, war er zudem noch zwei Spielzeiten im Iran aktiv, wo er wie in Südkorea eine Meisterschaft gewann.- [en] Chris Williams (basketball)
