Thomas Williams (September 9, 1896 – January 19, 1937) was a Negro leagues pitcher for several years before the founding of the first Negro National League and in its first few seasons.

Williams attended Morris Brown College.

In 1917, 21 year-old Williams registered for the WWI draft. He listed his occupation as a "Professional Base Ball" Player for Rube Foster. He also listed his home address as 3664 Wabash Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, and was listed as married and his wife a dependent.[3]

In 1918, while playing for the Hilldale Club, Williams was drafted into the Army in Class 1-A.[2]

He died in Bremen, Illinois in 1937 and was buried at Restvale Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois.
