Sir Wilson James Whineray, KNZM, OBE, (born 10 July 1935) is a former captain of the All Blacks, New Zealand's national rugby union team.

He played for the All Blacks between 1957 and 1965. He was the team's longest serving captain, and according to some, its greatest.

After retiring from rugby, he gained a MBA from Harvard University, where he was a member of the Harvard Business School RFC, and went on to hold a number of prominent positions in the business world, including chairman of the board of Carter Holt Harvey, a major New Zealand company. He also administered the Hillary Commission, a sports funding body.

In November 2004, it was reported that Whineray was the top contender to replace Dame Silvia Cartwright as Governor-General in 2006. However, the post eventually went to Anand Satyanand.

On 21 October 2007 (following the IRB World Cup in France) Wilson was inducted into the IRB's Hall of Fame after a public vote.
