Jeff Williams (Born June 6, 1972 - ) is an Australian-born, left-handed pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers baseball team, who formerly played for the LA Dodgers. While with the Dodgers in 2000 and 2001, the tandem of Williams and fellow Australian Luke Prokopec gained considerable popularity in the Los Angeles area. However, the attention was short lived, as both moved on to other franchises.

He is a specialist closer and performs extremely well under pressure.

In 2003, he helped Hanshin to their first Central League title in 18 years and was instrumental in taking the Australian Olympic baseball team to a Silver Medal in the baseball tournament at the Athens Olympics.
