John Victor "Vic" Wilson (17 January 1921 – 5 June 2008) was a cricketer who played for and captained Yorkshire. He was born in Scampston, Malton, Yorkshire.cricinfo|ref=ci/content/player/23077.html retrieved June 6 2008]

Wilson made his first-class debut for Yorkshire in 1946 as a left-handed batsman and a very occasional right-arm medium pace bowler. He was also an occasional wicketkeeper and a talented fielder close to the bat. In 1954-55, he was a surprise selection for the MCC tour to Australia and New Zealand under Leonard Hutton, but he never adjusted to the fast pace of Australian pitches and was not picked for any of the Test matches. He also represented MCC at home in 1962 and 1963.

Though he was by then far from guaranteed a place in the first team, Wilson survived the purge of Yorkshire's playing staff in 1958 which saw Johnny Wardle, Bob Appleyard and Frank Lowson leave the staff and a new young team take shape under the captaincy of Ronnie Burnet. After Burnet retired, Wilson was appointed as the first professional county captain of Yorkshire in 1960. He had a successful tenure, leading the club to the County Championship in 1960 and 1962. He retired in 1962 and was succeeded by Brian Close for the 1963 season.

Wilson was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1961.

Wilson died in his home on 5 June 2008 at Yedingham aged 87. [ [http://content-aus.cricinfo.com/ci/content/story/353806.html?CMP=OTC-RSS "Vic Wilson dies aged 87"] from CricInfo retrieved June 6 2008]
