Sonny Boy Williamson II ( ing. Sonny Boy Williamson II ; numele real Alec "Rice" Miller , ing. Alex Miller ; 5 decembrie 1899 , Glendora , Mississippi - 25 mai 1965 , Helena , Arkansas ) - muzician american de blues, renumit pentru jocul lui magistral la armonică . La începutul carierei, a împrumutat pseudonimul unui alt celebru bluesman, Sonny Boy Williamson I , a disputat ulterior campionatul, dar a intrat totuși în istorie drept „al doilea Sonny Boy”. A cântat cu multe vedete de blues, a găzduit o emisiune radio, a înregistrat mai multe cântece cunoscute, care au fost interpretate de alți muzicieni în anii următori. Cel mai de succes a fost Don't Start me Talkin , care a ajuns pe locul trei în topurile naționale de R&B în 1955 .
