Mr. Wilson is a central character in Arthur Conan Doyle's short story "The Red-Headed League." He is a pawnbroker who becomes a victim of a peculiar scheme involving the creation of a fake job for red-headed men, designed to distract him while criminals dig a tunnel to rob his shop. His case draws the attention of Sherlock Holmes, who investigates the unusual circumstances surrounding the league and ultimately uncovers the truth behind the plot. Wilson's character serves to highlight themes of deception and the cleverness of Holmes's detective work.

There are a few suspicious details that Mr. Wilson fails to recognize when he gets his interview for the position at the red-headed league. Wilson's new assistant, Vincent Spaulding, was willing to work for half the normal wage. Spaulding was also the one who found the advertisement in the newspaper, and he practically pushed Wilson all the way to the front of the application line whereupon Wilson was promptly led in to the interview.
