威利·韦尔逊（英语：Willie Wilson；1948年6月16日—^[1]），是美国芝加哥的商人和政治人物，他拥有并经营几家不同的麦当劳餐厅，亦持有进口分销乳胶手套和其他医疗安全用品的奥马尔医疗用品^[2]^[3]。他还制作了一个美国福音音乐电视节目《Singsation》，于2012年获得艾美奖^[2]^[4]^[5]。

政治生涯

竞逐芝加哥市长

韦尔逊参加了2015年（英语：Chicago mayoral election, 2015）芝加哥市长（英语：Mayor of Chicago）的选举，在五名候选人排名第三，得票率为10.66%^[6]^[7]^[8]。在决选中，他支持初选排名第二的候选人赫苏斯·“丘伊”·加西亚（英语：Jesús "Chuy" García）^[9]^[10]。

竞逐美国总统

2015年6月1日，韦尔逊宣布参选2016年美国总统选举，争取民主党党内提名（英语：Democratic Party presidential primaries, 2016）^[2]^[12]^[13]^[14]。

他只在部分州的初选列入选票，可能由于南卡罗来纳州选票资格费价格较高，令他在该州“南方第一”选区成为唯一少数候选人^[15]。
