Richard B. Wilson K-8 School is a K-8 school in the Amphitheater School District located in Oro Valley, a suburb of Tucson, Arizona. Wilson was founded in 1996 in honor of former Amphitheater School District superintendent Richard Bernard Wilson and serves a large student population of over 1,500.

Wilson students statistically place in the very top of the state (often among the top 5 schools) in standardized test administrations conducted by the Arizona Department of Education. The school is also regularly recognized as "Excelling" by the State, ranking in the top 15% in Arizona [1].

Wilson students are promoted to Ironwood Ridge High School located a half-mile south of the Wilson campus in Oro Valley.
