Jessica M. Wilson is an American professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto Scarborough.

[6] From 2014 to 2016, Wilson held a simultaneous appointment as a Regular Distinguished Visiting professor at the Eidyn Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh.
[1] Wilson's research has focused largely on metaphysics and epistemology, with a focus on the metaphysics of modality, fundamentality, indeterminacy, science, and mind, and the epistemologies of skepticism, a priori deliberation, and necessity, as well as physicalism, emergentism, and mental causation.
Wilson defends the superiority of the account over its competitors in various domains, including the indeterminacy of the spatial boundaries of material objects, and the indeterminacy among superposed properties postulated by quantum mechanics.
