James Thomas Wilson FRS[1] (1861-1945) was a Professor of Anatomy at the University of Cambridge and an elected Fellow of the Royal Society.[1]

In 1886, he was invited by T.P. Anderson Stewart to become a demonstrator in anatomy in the recently established medical school at the University of Sydney, and was soon promoted to the new post of Challis Professor of Anatomy in Sydney.[1][2] He subsequently became dean of the Faculty of Medicine, then later moved back to the UK to take up the post of Professor of Anatomy in Cambridge from 1920 and a fellowship at St John's College.

He made several important contributions to the study of anatomy [3][4][5][6] and was elected president of the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland for 1922 to 1924.[7]
