Keith Williams (27 May 1926 – 19 October 2004)[2] 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.[3]

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.[4]

His grandson is John Longmire, former North Melbourne full-forward and Sydney Swans senior coach.[5]
