Devon Frank Williams (born 16 April 1992 in Stellenbosch) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing Currie Cup rugby with the Pumas. His regular position is winger or fullback.
Williams represented Western Province since Under-18 level, playing for them at the Academy Week and Craven Week tournaments in 2010.

He played for the Western Province U21 side in 2012 (finishing joint-fifth top try scorer with six tries in just seven starts, despite missing a large part of the season through injury) and 2013, scoring eight tries in fourteen starts and winning the "U21 Back of the Year" award.
His first taste of senior rugby came in 2013, when he was included in the Western Province squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup competition.

His 2014 Vodacom Cup campaign saw him score an incredible nine tries in the first six matches of the competition. He scored two tries in their opening match against the Boland Cavaliers, one each in their matches against the Eastern Province Kings, the Border Bulldogs and Free State XV and four tries in their 65–29 victory over Kenyan representative side Simba XV.
