Fred 'Freddie' Williams (3 June 1936 – 11 November 2017) was a former English darts caller. In the circuit he was known as Freddie '180' Williams.
Williams made his debut in 1980. Since then he has been active as a caller in all British Darts Organisation's tournaments; the Winmau World Masters, the News of the World Darts Championship and the Embassy. At the 1984 World Matchplay, Williams called history by announcing John Lowe's nine-darter in his match against Keith Deller. In doing so, Williams became the first caller of a live nine-darter on a major televised tournament. In 1993 Williams, along with fellow referee Bruce Spendley, moved to the forerunner of the newly formed Professional Darts Corporation.
