Khadijah Williams (born 29 December 1994) is a Jamaican international netball player. Primarily a midcourter, Williams debuted for the Jamaica national netball team, the Sunshine Girls, in 2013 against England.[1] She was a member of the team that won bronze at the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games, and that finished fourth at the 2015 Netball World Cup.[2]

In 2017 Williams was temporarily suspended from the national team, along with fellow players Shanice Beckford and Nicole Dixon, during a team training incident, but was later cleared of all charges.[3]
