Owen Williams (23 September 1896 – 9 December 1960)[1] was an English football player most notable for his career with Clapton Orient and Middlesbrough.

He failed to settle at that club and so he returned to North East England, where he played non-league football for Easington Colliery Welfare.

At the end of World War I, an interest was shown in him by Clapton Orient, beginning a successful league career.

This made him the side's first international footballer and, along with John Townrow, shares the Orient record for most England national team appearances, both with just two.

In Williams' first full season at Boro' he joint top scored with Ian Dickson with seven goals each.
