Mark Wilson (25 November 1890 — 3 August 1982) was an English-born Scottish first-class cricketer.

Wilson was born in November 1890 in Whitburn, County Durham. He was a club cricketer for Clackmannan County/[1] His club career was somewhat eventful, with him making an allegation to the police that he had been assaulted by a spectator during a match in 1924.[2] He made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Scotland against Lancashire at Old Trafford on Scotland's 1925 tour of England.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Dick Tyldesley, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 4 runs by Len Hopwood. With his left-arm fast-medium bowling, he bowled eight wicketless overs.[4] Outside of cricket, Wilson played football for Sauchie Juniors F.C., signing for the club in August 1922.[5] Away from sports, he was by profession a foreman at a woollen mill. Wilson died in August 1982 at Sauchie, Clackmannanshire.
