William Dickson Wilson (7 September 1900 – 24 June 1973) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Peebles Rovers and Dunfermline Athletic in the Scottish Football League and for Newcastle United and Millwall in the English Football League.

He became the regular Newcastle goalkeeper immediately after joining the Magpies in 1925 and won the league title in the 1926–27 season, in which he was ever-present (42 matches, part of a sequence of 120 consecutive appearances). He lost his place to Mick Burns at the end of 1928 and moved on to second-tier Millwall where he spent five years, departing when the Lions were relegated following the 1933–34 season.
