The Magpies centre-half was informed by the Football Association that he faced punishment on Monday, following an incident during a meeting with Bolton on Saturday.
Williamson denied the charge, which related to a coming together involving Trotters striker Johan Elmander, and hoped he would be cleared.
However, the FA has informed him that he has been found guilty of the charge and he must serve a three-match ban.
A statement released by the FA read: "At an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing today (Wednesday), Newcastle United defender Mike Williamson was given a three-match suspension for violent conduct."
Williamson was not pulled up for the offence at the time, with the match officials having missed the incident.
He has been retrospectively charged, with the FA keen to clamp down on any acts it deems to have infringed the rules of the game.
