John Alfred Williams (7 August 1888 – 6 December 1965) was a Welsh international rugby union player.
A powerfully–built forward, Williams was known by the nickname "Punch" and gained seven Wales caps, across their 1920 and 1921 Five Nations campaigns.[1] He was selected from Blaina RFC and later played for the Aberaman club, which he also served as a secretary.[2] An attempt was made to recruit him to rugby league in 1921.[3]
