Abraham J. Williams (February 26, 1781 – December 30, 1839) was an American politician from Boone County, Missouri. He was the third Governor of Missouri in 1825 and 1826.
Williams had been elected to the Missouri Senate as a Democratic-Republican, and was its President-pro-tem when Governor Frederick Bates died in office on August 4, 1825. Since the elected Lieutenant-Governor Benjamin Harrison Reeves had already resigned, Williams became acting governor. After a special election for the remainder of Governor Bates' term, he was replaced by John Miller on January 20, 1826.
Williams died in 1839 and is buried in the Columbia Cemetery at Columbia, Missouri.
