William Williams (c. – February 13, 1906) was a Cornish miner who was the last person executed by the state of Minnesota in the United States. In 1905, Williams murdered John Keller and Keller's mother in Saint Paul, and his botched execution led to significant support for the abolition of capital punishment in Minnesota in 1911.
