Bernard Williams (born October 8, 1948) is an American former professional baseball left fielder, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Francisco Giants (1970–1972) and San Diego Padres (1974).

Williams played in a total of 102 major league games in parts of four seasons, batting .192, with four home runs and 15 runs batted in (RBI), in 172 at bats. In addition to his appearances in the outfield, Williams was often used as a pinch hitter. In his MLB career, Williams never came close to achieving the success which he had experienced in Minor League Baseball (MiLB). Of his four big league home runs, two of them were pinch hits.

After his major league career, Williams found much more success in Japan, playing for the Hankyu Braves of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). In six seasons there (1975–1980), he batted .258, with 96 home runs, and 294 RBI. Williams was selected to Japan’s Pacific League All-Star team in 1976.
