Joseph William "Joe" Wilson (29 September 1911 – 3 April 1996) was an English professional football right back and manager who played in the Football League for Southend United, Brentford and Barnsley. He later managed non-league clubs Blyth Spartans and Consett.
A right back, Wilson spent his early career moving around Northern and North-Eastern League sides Tow Law Town, Crook Town, Annfield Plain and Stanley United. He departed the latter club in December 1927.
Wilson signed for Division One side Newcastle United for a £50 fee in December 1927. He had to wait until 7 December 1929 for his professional debut, which came in a 2–2 draw with Aston Villa at St James' Park. He departed the club in July 1930.
Wilson dropped down to the Division Three South to sign for Southend United in a £500 deal in July 1930. He remained at Roots Hall for five seasons, making 175 appearances and scoring four goals.
