Leon Williams, born in 1905, was a professional baseball player who made a brief appearance in Major League Baseball during the 1926 season. His career spanned from May 26 to September 6 of that year, during which he played a total of 12 games. As a position player, Williams had a challenging time at the plate, finishing his career with just 1 hit in 5 at-bats, resulting in a batting average of 0.2.
