Mitchell Lee Wiggins (born September 28, 1959) is an American retired professional basketball player who played the shooting guard position.

Wiggins attended North Lenoir High School in LaGrange, North Carolina. He played collegiately at Truett-McConnell College, Clemson University and Florida State University.

Wiggins averaged 23 points and nine rebounds per game during his two seasons at Florida State.

Wiggins was selected by the Indiana Pacers as the 23rd overall pick of the 1983 NBA draft. He never played for the Pacers, spending his rookie year playing in all 82 regular season games while averaging twelve points, four rebounds and two assists per game for the Chicago Bulls.

In the 1984 off-season, Wiggins signed with the Houston Rockets, fighting for a berth in the starting lineup with Lewis Lloyd. In late 1986, however, after the Rockets appeared in the 1986 NBA Finals, losing to the Boston Celtics, the pair tested positive for cocaine, incurring a two 1/2-year suspension from the league.

Both Wiggins and Lloyd were reinstated for the 1989–90 season, but the latter was soon released. Wiggins then enjoyed his best season in the NBA, appearing in 66 games and averaging 15.5 ppg; he was then also released. He played for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1991–92 season, his last in the NBA. He scored 3,877 points in his NBA career.
