Keith Williams (27 May 1926 – 19 October 2004) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Williams was signed by Fitzroy in 1947, while he was completing a Morris Medal winning season with Corowa in the Ovens & Murray Football League (OMFL). He didn't join the club until 1948 and the follower was a regular member of the team that year, missing only the final round.
He returned to the OMFL in 1949 as a playing coach, but at a new club, Rutherglen. In 1952 he announced his intention to resume his VFL career at Fitzroy but never made the move to Melbourne due to business commitments.
His grandson is John Longmire, former North Melbourne full-forward and Sydney Swans senior coach.
