Joseph Henderson Williams (born 1 September 1974) is a former Barbadian cricketer who played several matches for Barbados during the late 1990s. From the parish of Saint Philip, Williams represented the Barbados under-19 team at both the 1993 and 1994 West Indies Youth Championships.[1] He made his first-class debut for Barbados during the 1995–96 season, against Guyana in the Red Stripe Cup. The match was washed out after one day's play,[2] and Williams played only one further match at first-class level, against a touring Free State team the following season.[3] In that match, played at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, he took 3/57 in Free State's only innings, bowling first change behind Henry Austin and Test player Patterson Thompson.[4]

Although he only played two matches at first-class level, Williams had greater success in the limited-overs format, playing six matches over the 1996–97 and 1997–98 seasons of the West Indian domestic one-day competition.[5] He made his List A debut for Barbados against the Windward Islands in October 1996, taking one wicket on debut.[6] In what was arguably his best performance for the team, Williams took 3/33 in the following match against Bermuda, helping to restrict the Bermudians to 215/8 from their 50 overs.[7] His last one-day match for Barbados came against Guyana in October 1997, with his figures of 3/54 the best in the match.[8] Williams did not play for Barbados again, finishing with eight wickets from his six limited-overs matches, alongside his three wickets from two first-class matches.[9]
