Wigan Warriors is an English rugby league club founded in 1872. In 1998, the club created a hall of fame to honour former players and coaches for their contribution to the club. The inaugural members were Billy Boston and Shaun Edwards.

As of 2017, six of the Hall of Fame inductees are also included in the British Rugby League Hall of Fame (Boston, Edwards, Eric Ashton, Jim Sullivan, Ellery Hanley and Martin Offiah).
