Charles Robert Williams (August 1, 1877 – October 17, 1957) was an American football coach and college athletics administrator.

Left End Powell Lykes, dropped back to kick, but lobbed a 30-yard pass to George Warren instead.

The 1909 season was notable for the resumption of the Clemson-Carolina rivalry after a five-year gap, caused by a near riot in October 1902.

Williams was replaced by Frank Dobson in 1910 who had a three-year run at the school, the first coach to actually have a signed contract.

With Dobson's departure after the 1912 season, Williams returned for the second time to the Clemson head coaching position.
