Roy Williams (born August 14, 1980 in Redwood City, California) is a safety for the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. Long after his high school football campaign at James Logan High School, Williams was drafted as the #8 pick in the first round of the 2002 NFL draft out of the University of Oklahoma, where he played on a national championship football team in 2000. In 2001, his junior season at OU, he won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the nation's top overall defensive player and the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back.

Williams has quickly established himself as one of the hardest hitting safeties in the NFL. He looks to be a dominant force once more in Bill Parcells' newly-installed 3-4 defense after struggling all of the 2004 season, having to stay in man coverage the majority of the snaps.

With the right cornerback position stabilized by the free agent pickup of Anthony Henry, Williams can once more roam closer to the line of scrimmage. At the end of the 2005 NFL regular season, Williams had 2.5 sacks and 3 interceptions, one of which was for a game-winning TD.

The banning of the horse-collar tackle is now jokingly referred to as the "Roy Williams Rule" due to Williams repeated use of it.

Williams is engaged to hip-hop vocalist Kelly Rowland, although the wedding is reportedly off.
