Gregery Scott Williamson (born May 11, 1964) is a former American football cornerback who played for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Fresno State University.[1][2][3]

Williamson played three games in his career, each as a starter, being a replacement player during the 1987 NFL strike.[4] Against the New Orleans Saints, he recorded his only career interception, which he returned 28 yards. Near midfield, he fumbled, which was recovered by Shawn Miller, who then fumbled after reaching the Saints 23 yard-line; Saints quarterback John Fourcade recovered and ran 77 yards for a touchdown, but it was called back due to Williamson's fumble being ruled an illegal forward lateral.[5]
