Jody Williams (born May 17, 1990) is a South African pop/R&B singer. She won the fourth season of the South African reality television singing competition Idols on 9 December 2007 at age 17, making her the youngest winner of the competition until 2017, when Paxton Fielies won the Competition at age 17.

Her debut platinum-selling album, Just Gonna Be Me, reached No. 1 on the South African Albums Chart,[1] and spawned three consecutive number one singles on the South African Airplay Chart: "Love Is All Around", "Kiss of Life", "Wind It", and "Love Like This Before". Elements of Pop, R&B, dance and soul can be found in her music. Jody has cited singers Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion as her main musical inspirations and influences.
