Derek Wilton was a fictional character on the soap opera Coronation Street. He was portrayed by Peter Baldwin.
Derek was a salesman who wooed but let down Mavis Riley for many years. Eventually the two married, even though both initially got cold feet on the day of the wedding. Derek and Mavis were generally regarded as old-fashioned eccentrics by their neighbours but became solid members of the community. Derek died in 1997 of a heart attack following a road rage incident.
