Eric Wilson (born April 27, 1983) is a Canadian former international rugby union player.

Wilson, a firefighter by profession, played his club rugby for Vancouver club Meraloma and was the British Columbia Rugby Union's 2009 Player of the Year. He played representative rugby with the BC Bears and competed for Canada West in the short-lived North America 4 competition.[1] [2]

In 2012, Wilson was called up to replace scrum-half Phil Mack in the national team for a series of Test matches in Colwyn Bay, Wales. He made his debut off the bench against Samoa and gained a second cap as the starting scrum-half in Canada's win over Russia, with Sean White out injured.[3]
