Nina Williams (Japanese: ニーナ・ウィリアムズ, Hepburn: Nīna Wiriamuzu^?) is a fictional character from Namco's Tekken fighting game series. A cold-blooded Irish professional assassin, Nina made her first appearance in Tekken, the original game in the series, and is one of four characters (the others being Yoshimitsu, Heihachi Mishima, and Paul Phoenix), and the only female character to appear in all main installments in the series, with the noticeable exception of the original version of Tekken 7. She also starred in her own spin-off game, Death by Degrees.

Nina has an unstable and often violent relationship with her younger sister, Anna Williams, who is frequently her arch-rival in the series. She is known for her fast and lethal fighting style, based loosely on the fighting arts aikido and koppojutsu, among others. The character was mostly very well received, often regarded as one of the best Tekken characters as well as one of the most attractive and stylish female characters in gaming. Nina is probably the most famous female character in the Tekken series and is the only woman to be present in all the installments of the series.

Nina Williams was born and raised in Ireland, as was her sister, Anna. From a young age, both were taught various forms of martial arts such as assassination martial arts, hapkido and koppojutsu. Both sisters admired their father, a former assassin Richard Williams, which caused a sibling rivalry between the two as they crave and compete for his attention. When Richard died (Nina and Anna Williams father), both sisters started to blame each other for the cause of his death. Although they tried to maintain their relationship following their father's last wish, it only made their rivalry strengthen even further. Nina's knowledge of the assassination martial arts help her quickly becoming an assassin and the 20-year-old Nina had later been hired during The King of Iron Fist Tournament to assassinate the head of Mishima Zaibatsu, Heihachi Mishima. However, she failed.
