Donald James "Danny" Wilson (born 1955) is a British former professional rugby league player of the 1970s, and 1980s. A Wales national representative stand-off half back, he played his club rugby for Widnes, Swinton, Runcorn Highfield and Springfield Borough.
Born in Wales to a Welsh mother and a Sierra Leonean father, Wilson played rugby union for Cardiff RFC as a fly-half before moving north to play professionally in rugby league.
Wilson once scored five drop goals in a match for Swinton.
Wilson won five caps for Wales while at Swinton, in 1981–82 and 1984.
Wilson is the father of retired Manchester United footballer and former Welsh international Ryan Giggs, who was christened Ryan Joseph Wilson but as a teenager changed his surname to that of his mother. Giggs is said to have inherited his balance and athleticism from his father.
