Dorothy Snowden "Dar" Williams(born April 19, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter specializing in pop folk. Hendrik Hertzberg ofThe New Yorkerhas described Williams as "one of America’s very best singer-songwriters."

She is a frequent performer at folk festivals and has toured with such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Patty Griffin, Ani DiFranco, The Nields, Shawn Colvin, Girlyman, Joan Baez, and Catie Curtis.

Williams was born in Mount Kisco, New York, and grew up in Chappaqua with two older sisters, Meredith and Julie. Her nickname "Dar" originated due to a mispronunciation of "Dorothy" by one of Williams's sisters. In a 2008 interview with WUKY radio, Dar said her parents wanted to name her Darcy, after the character inPride and Prejudice, and that they intentionally called her "Dar-Dar", which she shortened to "Dar" in school.
