Hudson Williams (born February 13, 2001) is a Canadian actor. He rose to prominence for his breakout role as Shane Hollander in the Crave original television series Heated Rivalry (2025–present), for which he won the Canadian Screen Award for Best Leading Performance in a Drama Series. He will appear in the upcoming Crave series Yaga, the Netflix limited series The Altruists, and the films Apparatus and Tyrant.

Williams was born on February 13, 2001, in Kelowna, British Columbia, and moved as a young child to Kamloops, British Columbia, where he was raised. His mother, an interior designer, is Korean, and his father, a mechanical engineer, is of British and Dutch descent.
Williams began his schooling at a French immersion kindergarten before transferring, at his mother’s suggestion, to Beattie School of the Arts, where he studied dance, music and theatre. He later graduated from Sa-Hali Secondary School in Kamloops, where he played on the basketball team and trained in mixed martial arts. He renewed his focus on acting in grade 11, and has said that taking acting classes in Vancouver persuaded him that acting could become a viable profession.
