Ben Williamson (born 7 August 2001) is a Scottish footballer, who plays as a midfielder for East of Scotland Football League club Oakley United.
In January 2020, Williamson, a product of the Rangers youth system, signed a new contract with the club extending his stay until the summer of 2021.
On 13 January 2021, Williamson joined Arbroath in the Scottish Championship, after agreeing a one-year contract extension until 2022. Williamson made his professional debut three days later in a draw with Queen of the South.
On 12 July 2021, Williamson signed a new two-year contract with Rangers and then moved to Livingston on a season-long loan. This loan was cut short in January 2022, and Williamson was immediately sent on loan to Scottish Championship side Raith Rovers for the remainder of the season.
On 15 July 2022, Williamson signed an extension with Rangers which kept him at the club until 2024, and then joined Scottish Championship side Dundee on a season-long loan. He made his debut for the Dark Blues in an away win over Stranraer in the Scottish League Cup. Williamson scored his first goal for Dundee in a 3âÂÂ0 win over league leaders Queen's Park on 28 January 2023. Williamson came on as a substitute and help seal a win on the final day of the league season over Queen's Park which clinched the Scottish Championship title for Dundee.
On 18 July 2023, Williamson joined Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle on a loan until January 2024. He made his first start later that same day in a Scottish League Cup group stage win away to Dundee United. Williamson left the club at the end of his loan on 1 January 2024.
On 4 January 2024, Williamson joined Scottish League One club Hamilton Academical on an 18-month deal. He made his debut on 13 January in a home league win over Cove Rangers, in which he was sent off. Williamson was a large part of Hamilton's play-off final victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle which saw Accies promoted to the Scottish Championship.
In December 2024, Williamson was involved in a car crash in which he sustained serious injuries, including a broken leg, which would likely end his football season.
In the summer of 2025, with Hamilton Accies being given a transfer-embargo and Williamson's contract having expired, he was unable to re-register with the club but continued to train with them. In January 2026, he joined Scottish League Two side East Kilbride. After making just 2 appearances for East Kilbride, Williamson announced his departure from the club, citing a need to take time away from professional football for personal reasons.
Shortly after his departure from East Kilbride, it was announced that Williamson had signed for Oakley United in the East of Scotland Football League.
