The Williams Lake is a saline, 1 km long and 250 m wide lake on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth country . In the Vestfold Mountains, it is located southwest of Ace Lake at the western end of the Langnes Peninsula . Flat strips of land separate it from Bulatnaya Bay in the north and Langnes Fjord in the south. The lake surface is 0.5 to 1 m above the high water mark.

The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia named it after the limnologist Richard Williams, who spent the 1974 Antarctic winter at Davis Station and carried out extensive studies in the Vestfold Mountains.
