Roger B. Wilson (born October 10, 1948) is an American politician who was Governor of Missouri from October 17, 2000 to January 8, 2001. He is a Democrat, and in August, 2004, became Chairman of the Missouri Democratic Party after endorsing Claire McCaskill in her ultimately successful bid to unseat incumbent Governor Bob Holden in the Democratic Primary. In January, 2007, after previously indicating he was interested in serving another two years, Wilson announced he would not seek an additional term as Chairman.

Wilson was born in Boone County, Missouri. He attended college at Central Methodist College and graduated class of 1977. He was a school teacher and an elementary school principal in Columbia, Missouri. He was elected to the Missouri state senate and served there for more than 20 years. He served as the lieutenant governor from 1993 to 2000. As lieutenant governor to Governor Mel Carnahan, Roger Wilson was dedicated to advocating for the "Four E's": economic development, education, efficiency in government and the elderly.

In October 2000, Governor Mel Carnahan died in an airplane crash, and Wilson served as governor until the end of the term in 2001. Following Governor Carnahan's posthumous election to the U.S. Senate, Wilson appointed his widow, Jean Carnahan, to serve in his place.

He is not related to Rogerick "Roger" Wilson, a 2008 Democratic candidate for the 71st District of the Missouri State House of Representatives.
