Craig George Williams (born 25 February 1984 in Oshakati, Oshana Region) is a Namibian former cricketer.

Williams made his first-class debut for the Namibian cricket team in 2007, in a Three-Day South African Provincial Challenge match against North West. Williams bowled four overs in the first innings of the match, conceding 23 runs. He scored a half-century in his debut first-class innings.[1]

Williams has since played for the Namibia A team, scoring a century against Canada in his first appearance in this side. In January 2018, he was named in Namibia's squad for the 2018 ICC World Cricket League Division Two tournament.[2]

In February 2018, he retired from cricket, after playing for Namibia against Free State in the 2017–18 CSA Provincial One-Day Challenge.[3][4] He was the leading run-scorer in the 2017–18 Sunfoil 3-Day Cup for Namibia, with 687 runs in eight matches.[5]
