Harold Claude Noel Williams (6 December 1914[1] 5 April 1990), commonly known as H. C. N. Williams or Bill Williams, was an Anglican priest and author.

Williams was born in Grahamstown, South Africa and educated at Graeme College (South Africa) and Durham University (England). He was ordained in 1938 and began his ministry as a curate at St Mary with St Paul's Weeke near Winchester in England.[2] From 1941 to 1949 he was Principal of St Matthew’s College in South Africa. He then returned to England and held incumbencies at St Bartholomew's Hyde, Winchester[3] and St Mary’s, Southampton. In 1958 he became Provost of the Cathedral Church of St Michael, Coventry, a position he held for 23 years. [4][5][6]
