Henriëtte Willems, known professionally as Linda Williams, is a Dutch singer who represented the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 1981 in Dublin, Ireland with the song Het is een wonder, which finished in ninth place.
Williams was unknown at the time she took part with two songs in the 1981 Dutch Eurovision selection, as a last-minute replacement for singer Oscar Harris, who had had to drop out at short notice.
Following her Eurovision appearance, Williams released a few singles which passed unnoticed, and soon returned to obscurity. She did however make another appearance on the Eurovision stage in 1999, when along with her daughter Eva-Jane, she was among the backing singers for that year's Belgian entrant, Vanessa Chinitor.
