Mitch Williams is a fictional character on the ABC Daytime drama, General Hospital, portrayed by Christopher Pennock from 1979 to 1980.

Tracy Quartermaine is strapped for cash and had just ended a disastrous marriage to faux Lord Larry Ashton. Her father, Edward Quartermaine has cut her off, refusing to bankroll any more of her escapades until she finds herself a husband. Tracy then pushes her fiancée, the corrupt, Assistant District Attorney who had ties to organized crime, Mitch Williams to marry her. Lured in by the Quartermaine fortune, Mitch marries Tracy, but continues to see Susan Moore on the side. Tracy finances his campaign for State Senate to keep a hold over him. Mitch has no choice but to give in to her demands to crack down on organized crime—starting with the mob's rumored control of the Campus Disco run by head mobster Frank Smith. Smith arranges for his manager of the disco, Luke Spencer, to carry out a hit on Mitch. In order to save his good friend, Roy DiLucca attempts to carry out the hit himself. The attempt fails and Roy is shot by Mitch's security detail. He is presumed dead but really sent to Pentonville federal prison. Mitch then runs for governor of New York, and Edward agrees to give Tracy two million dollars, only to be spent on Mitch's race. Tracy, tired of competing with Susan for Mitch's affections, uses the money to lure Mitch away from her. Mitch chooses money over love and leaves Port Charles for Albany. Tracy knows she cannot compete with Susan, so leaves and joins Mitch in Albany. Their marriage does not last long; they quietly divorce and Tracy returns to Port Charles.
