Jacqueline Williams (born 4 March 1976) is a Jamaican cricket umpire.[1] She stood as an umpire in the 2015 ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier tournament.[2] In 2016 she became the first female umpire to stand in the domestic 50-over competition in the West Indies, when she was one of the on-field umpires between Trinidad & Tobago and ICC Americas in the 2015–16 Regional Super50 tournament.[3][4]

During the 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Five tournament in Jersey, she was the third umpire during the fixture between Oman and Nigeria on 22 May.[3] Her colleague, Sue Redfern, was one of the on-field umpires, meaning that it was the first time two female umpires had officiated in a men's match in an ICC tournament.[3]

In October 2016 she was selected as one of the eight umpires to stand in matches in the 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Four tournament.[5]
