Arthur Edward Wilson (May 18, 1910 - July 29, 2002) was an English first class cricketer. A wicketkeeper, he played with Gloucestershire between 1936 and 1955.
He started his career at Middlesex in 1932 where he originally played as a lower order batsman. With him unable to cement his spot in the side he moved to Gloucestershire in 1935 and became their first choice keeper a couple of years later after he had qualified for residence. He scored 1138 runs in his debut season which included 130 against Middlesex at Lord's.
After fighting in World War 2 he returned to the county in 1946 where he began opening the batting. He took 30 stumpings in 1947 and made his highest score of 188 against Sussex at Chichester
