Hughie "Lalty" Wilson (18 March 1869 – 7 April 1940) was a Scottish footballer who played for Sunderland and the Scotland national football team as an inside forward.[1]

Born in Mauchline, Scotland, Wilson came to prominence with Newmilns, earning his first international cap while with that club.[1] Wilson signed for Sunderland from Newmilns and made his debut for them on 13 September 1890 against Burnley in a 3–2 defeat at Newcastle Road.[2] Overall he made 258 league appearances scoring 46 goals while at the club, spanning from 1890 to 1899.[3] Wilson won league championships with Sunderland in 1892, 1893 and 1895.[1]

Wilson then returned to Scotland in 1901 with Third Lanark.[1] He enjoyed success with Thirds, winning the Scottish League in 1904, the Scottish Cup the following year, and reaching the final in 1906.[1] Wilson ended his playing days at Kilmarnock.[1]
