Horace Wilson (24 April 1848 – c. 1903) was a Canadian politician serving as an alderman and the 18th Mayor of Winnipeg.

Wilson was a painter who moved to Winnipeg no later than 1889 where he began a joint venture with Simon Betrand in the business of oil and painting. He became a Winnipeg alderman around 1895 and served in that role until his election as Mayor for 1900.

The City of Winnipeg named Wilson Street in his honour.
