Kortney Wilson (born c. 1979 as Kortney Galerno)[1] is a Canadian country music singer.

Wilson grew up in Ayr, Ontario. In 1994, she was performing as Annie with Royal City Musical Productions in Guelph.[2] By 1998 she had signed a management deal with Scream Marketing and Christy DiNapoli, a publishing deal with Scream Music Publishing in Nashville,[3] and was working with Reba McEntire.[4] In 2001, she issued two singles as Kortney Kayle on Lyric Street Records, but her debut album never materialized.[5] Her highest charting single was "Unbroken by You", which reached No. 50 in 2001. In 2001, Wilson also made several appearances on the soap opera, One Life to Live.[5] She co-wrote Ryan Tyler's 2003 single "Run, Run, Run", which was also released by Krysta Scoggins.

In 2009, Wilson and her family began to star in the CMT Canada reality series Meet the Wilsons.[5] Wilson is also signed to Open Road Recordings with her husband Dave as The Wilsons. Dave had also recorded for Lyric Street.[6]
