Margaret Henican Wilson, known as Peggy Wilson (born June 24, 1937), is a Republican politician from her native New Orleans, Louisiana, who served for three terms from 1986 to 1998 on the New Orleans City Council.
Wilson is one of six children of C. Ellis Henican, Sr. (1905-1997), and the former Elizabeth Cleveland (1909-1987), who are entombed at All Saints Mausoleum in New Orleans. She was reared in the Uptown section of New Orleans. A brother, C. Ellis Henican, Jr. (1933-2015), a Tulane University Law School graduate, practiced law in New Orleans for fifty-seven years until his death at the age of eighty-one; he taught securities regulation at Loyola University New Orleans College of Law and was married until her death to the former Patricia McGraw. Her other siblings are Alice H. Perrier, the widow of Claude Perrier; Dorothy H. Heidingsfelder, wife of Charles Heidingsfelder, and Joseph Henican, whose wife is also named Margaret. One of her nephews, Ellis Henican, is a Fox News Channel contributor.
Henican graduated in 1955 from the Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans and in 1959 from the Roman Catholic-affiliated Barat College in Lake Forest, Illinois, thirty miles north of Chicago. After teaching in parochial schools, she operated from 1980 to 1985 the public relations firm in New Orleans, Peggy Wilson & Associates.
