Rodney David Wilson is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 2024 general election, representing Halifax Armdale as a member of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party.

Wilson serves as the Official Opposition critic for Health and Wellness, Emergency Management, and Seniors and Long-Term Care.

Wilson graduated from the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine in 1992 and is a medical doctor by profession. He previously ran as a Nova Scotia Liberal Party candidate in Halifax Needham in a 2016 by-election, switching to the NDP in 2024 due to his support of NDP leader Claudia Chender.

Openly gay, he is the province's first out gay male MLA, as Cecil Clarke was not out as gay during his term in the legislature.
