Cape Wilson (54°2′S 37°10′W / 54.033°S 37.167°W / -54.033; -37.167) is a headland at the east side of the entrance to the Bay of Isles on the north coast of South Georgia. The Bay of Isles was charted in 1912–13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy. The cape was named by Murphy for Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, 1913–21.

The area including the Bay of Isles and Cape Buller, along with Grytviken is one of two Areas of Special Tourist Interest on the island.
