Ernest 'Ernie' Wilson (born 15 October 1900, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Wilson featured in the Collingwood side during a strong era, playing in no less than six Grand Finals. He was on a half forward flank in their 1919 premiership but was used mostly as a defender. His other Grand Final appearances came in 1920, 1922, 1925 and 1926 while he was a half back flanker in the Collingwood premiership team of 1927. He could have added another in 1928, but lost his place in the side after the drawn semi final against Melbourne which would be his last game.

He also represented Victoria at interstate football, a total of nine times, including in the 1924 Hobart Carnival.
