Max Wilson (June 3, 1916 – January 2, 1977) was an American professional baseball pitcher who appeared in 12 games in Major League Baseball as a reliever during two partial seasons for the Philadelphia Phillies (1940) and Washington Senators (1946).

Wilson was a left-hander and native of Haw River, North Carolina, who was listed as 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 m) tall and 170 pounds (77 kg).

He interrupted his baseball career to serve in the United States Navy in the Pacific Theater of World War II[1][2] between 1942 and 1945.

In Wilson's two MLB stints, he allowed 32 hits, 11 bases on balls and 20 earned runs in 192⁄3 innings pitched, dropping his only decision, on May 9, 1946, against the Detroit Tigers.

However, he was a highly successful pitcher in the lower minors, putting up a 54–29 won–lost mark in three seasons in the Class B Piedmont League (1939–1941).
