Douglas Gene Williams[1] (October 6, 1945[2] – March 19, 2021[3]) was an American critic of polygraph tests. Williams administered polygraph tests for US law enforcement and private companies but came to consider the tests unreliable and harmful.[4] He subsequently quit and spent decades publicly condemning polygraph tests and commercially teaching techniques purported to affect test results.[1][5][6]

Williams' activism included appearing on 60 Minutes[5] and testifying before a US Congressional subcommittee.[1] His teaching business led him to be the target of a federal sting operation in 2012 and 2013, in which agents announced intentions to use his methods to lie in polygraph tests to conceal crimes and maintain government employment.[5][1] Williams provided instruction to the agents, and in 2015, he was convicted on multiple counts of mail fraud and witness tampering and sentenced to two years in prison.[7]

According to AntiPolygraph.org, Williams resumed publicly providing polygraph-taking instruction after his supervised release ended in 2020.[3] He died in 2021 following an illness and was cremated.[3]
