Peter Hugh L'Estrange Wilson (born 17 August 1958) played first-class and List-A cricket for Surrey and Somerset in England and Northern Transvaal in South Africa.[1] He was born in Guildford, Surrey.

Wilson was educated at Ludgrove School.[2] A tall, strongly-built fast bowler and tail-end batsman, early in his career he was close to Test selection, but problems with his action affected his progress.[3] He holds an odd record, in that he was not dismissed until his 18th first-class match, by which time he had batted seven times and scored 29 runs.[4]
