Elliott James Wilson (born 3 November 1976) is a former English cricketer who played county cricket for Worcestershire. He was born in St Pancras, London.

In early July 1998, Wilson made his first-team debut for Worcestershire against Northamptonshire in a tied game in the AXA League, scoring 15 and taking one catch. Later that month he scored 61 opening the batting in another one-day match, against the touring Sri Lankans, and two days later was selected to make his first-class debut against Yorkshire. It was a chastening experience, however: he made only 25 and 3 as Worcestershire were crushed by an innings and 160 runs. Nevertheless, Wilson was retained in the side and was a first-team regular for the remainder of the season, although he made no significant scores.

1999 was a fairly successful season for Wilson: in nine first-class matches, he scored 536 runs at 35.73, including a career-best 116 against Middlesex and three further half-centuries; while in List A games he scored two fifties, including a career-best 62 (albeit in a losing cause) against Warwickshire. In 2000, he was a regular selection for his county, playing 17 first-class games, but despite two further centuries he averaged 26.86 overall.

Wilson spent the winter playing in Australia, but was forced to return home with a spinal infection caused during an injection. The injury led to a significant amount of time out of the game, and his eventual retirement following a brief attempt at a return in 2003. ^[1]
