**Wilson Coleman** (1873–1940) was a British actor.

He started his stage career in 1891, playing juvenile and heavy parts. He worked with [Barry Jackson](/source/Barry_Jackson_(director)) for five years. He toured both North and South America as well as South Africa. His hobbies were anything mechanical, electrical and optical, giving him the knowledge to invent his own camera for taking moving pictures. This led to him being in the photographic section of the [RFC](/source/Royal_Flying_Corps) in [World War I](/source/World_War_I).
