Wilsons Pocket is a rural locality in the Gympie Region, Queensland, Australia.

[1] The locality was named after Albert Henry (Shepherd) Wilson, (1845 to 1886), one of the earliest landholders in the area.

Wilson was born in Shepton Mallet, Somerset, England, and he immigrated to New South Wales on the "Bolton" in 1853.

He married Mary Cahill at Proston station on 8 June 1869 and they had two sons.

From 1875 to about 1882, he worked at the Golden Crown gold mine in Gympie, but may have been farming his selection on Tinana Creek at the same time.
