Elliott James Wilson (born 3 November 1976) is a former English cricketer who played county cricket for Worcestershire. He was born in St Pancras, London and educated at Felsted School. He studied at Durham University and played for British Universities, scoring 85 and 49 in a losing game against the New Zealand cricket team in 1999

In early July 1998, Wilson made his first-team debut for Worcestershire against Northamptonshire in a tied game in the AXA League, scoring 15 and taking one catch. Later that month he scored 61 opening the batting in another one-day match, against the World Champion Sri Lankans, and two days later was selected to make his first-class debut against Yorkshire. Wilson was retained in the side for the remainder of the season

1999 was a fairly successful season for Wilson: in nine first-class matches, he scored 536 runs at 35.73, including a career-best 116 against Middlesex and three further half-centuries; while in List A games he scored two fifties, including a career-best 62 against Warwickshire. In 2000, he was a regular selection for his county, playing 17 first-class games, and scoring two further centuries

Wilson spent the winter playing in Australia, but was forced to return home with a spinal infection. The injury led to a significant amount of time out of the game and his eventual retirement following a very brief attempt at a return in 2003.

Wilson now works in finance, but also exhibits artwork. He is represented by a London gallery, and has shown his work in New York and the London Art Fair. He has been Artist in Residence at Masterworks, Bermuda [1]
