Boswell Bennie Williams (May 16, 1926 – July 20, 2014) was a Saint Lucian politician who represented the district of Vieux Fort in the legislature from 1974 to 1979.[1]

He was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom as Governor-General on June 19, 1980,[2][3] replacing Sir Allen Montgomery Lewis, father of the former Prime Minister Vaughan Lewis. He was initially Acting Governor General, becoming Governor General in December 1981. Williams had to confront the most serious constitutional crisis in the history of Saint Lucia soon after the rejection of Prime Minister Allan Louisy's budget proposal. He resigned on December 13, 1982.[4]

Williams died at his home in Sans Soucis on July 20, 2014.[4]
