Edward Heathcote Williams (23 March 1859 – 28 November 1931) was a New Zealand lawyer, farmer and cricket administrator.

His maternal grandfather was James Busby, the British Resident in New Zealand, who arrived in 1833.

[1] After three years working in a bank in Wellington he was articled to a lawyer there.

[2] Heathcote Williams' playing record was modest – one first-class match for Hawke's Bay in 1891–92 when he captained his side to an innings victory over Taranaki[3] – but he became one of the leading cricket administrators in New Zealand.

He was the president of the Hawke's Bay Cricket Association from 1892 until his death in 1931.
