Brian "Rookie" Wilson (born September 14, 1967) is an American real estate developer and poker player, originally from Rockford, Illinois, now based in Fort Myers, Florida.

Wilson won a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2005 in the $5,000 pot limit hold'em event, defeating John Gale in the final heads-up confrontation to take home the $370,685 first prize. This was the first pot limit event Wilson had ever played. He has noted that this was event #20 at the WSOP, started on June 20th, and 20 is his lucky number. cite web|url=http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=29082 |title=Brian Wilson - results |accessdate=2008-05-08 |last=Butt |first=Robert |publisher=The Hendon Mob ]
