Owain Fôn Williams (born 17 March 1987) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Scottish Premiership club Inverness Caledonian Thistle. He made 271 appearances in The Football League, including 161 for Tranmere Rovers, also representing Crewe Alexandra, , Bury, and Rochdale.
Formerly a Welsh youth international, he was first called up to the senior Wales team in 2009, finally making his debut in 2015. He was a member of the Wales squad that reached the semi-finals of UEFA Euro 2016.
Born in Penygroes, Gwynedd, Fôn Williams joined Crewe Alexandra after impressing during a trial period when he had his spells at Premier League clubs Manchester United and Liverpool and was signed on scholarship forms in 2003. He was first choice for the club's under-19 team but suffered a broken leg during his second year which halted his progress. On 19 June 2006, Fôn Williams signed a two-year contract with the club.
Following his recovery, Fôn Williams was given number twenty-one shirt and competed for the first choice goalkeeper with Ben Williams, but failed to start and spent the most of the season on the substitute bench. Tired of the lack of first team appearances, Fôn Williams was offered a new contract, but the negotiations was stalled and left Crewe in July 2008 for a tribunal set fee.
On 8 July 2008, he joined following the expiration of his contract with Crewe. Fôn Williams was linked with a move to Premier League clubs and Championship clubs before joining Stockport County.
