Kortney Wilson (born c. 1979 as Kortney Galerno) is a Canadian country music singer and a licensed real estate professional.
Wilson grew up in Ayr, Ontario. In 1994, she was performing as Annie with Royal City Musical Productions in Guelph. By 1998 she had signed a management deal with Scream Marketing and Christy DiNapoli, a publishing deal with Scream Music Publishing in Nashville, and was working with Reba McEntire. In 2001, she issued two singles as Kortney Kayle on Lyric Street Records, but her debut album never materialized. Her highest charting single was "Unbroken by You", which reached No. 50 in 2001.
