Ben Wilson (born 25 February 1977) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Wilson was secured by Collingwood from Norwood in the 1994 AFL Draft with the ninth selection, but first not from a TAC Cup side. The South Australian didn't feature in the 1995 AFL season and then appeared twice for Collingwood in 1996.[1]

He was traded to Sydney at the end of 1996, along with Mark Orchard and two draft picks, for which Collingwood received Anthony Rocca.[2] He played in the opening three rounds of the 1997 season but made only one further appearance.[1]
