Ederyn Williams (born 21 September, 1946) is a supporter of the rights of minorities and suppressed groups within society and is the former head of a university department in Coventry in the United Kingdom specialising in business studies.^[1] He is the son of the academic Raymond Williams, and is a co-developer of social presence theory whose main thesis and major points are an examination of the principles first described in Isaac Asimov's 1956 novel, The Naked Sun.

While working for British Telecom in the early 1980s, he founded the now defunct games company Telecomsoft. In 2009, his staff nominated him for a Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion, which he shared one year later with fellow winner Nicholas Bowen, the head teacher of St. Benet Biscop Catholic High School in Northumberland.^[2]
