Williamsonia is a genus of small dragonflies in the family Corduliidae. They are commonly known as boghaunters. Unlike other genera of emerald dragonflies, they have dark eyes and nonmetallic bodies.

The genus consists of only two living species:

  • Williamsonia fletcheri Williamson, 1923 – ebony boghaunter
  • Williamsonia lintneri (Hagen in Selys, 1878) – ringed boghaunter
