Wilson-Miles Cary (1733 – November 30, 1817) was an American politician from Virginia. A prominent patriot in the American Revolutionary War and once one of the wealthiest men in the Colony of Virginia, Cary served in the Virginia House of Burgesses and later the Virginia House of Delegates as a Federalist who represented at various times Warwick County, Elizabeth City County (modern Hampton) and the newly created Fluvanna County. Cary also built Carysbrook Plantation in Fluvanna County, where he died in the household of his grandson Wilson Jefferson Cary (who would continue the family's legislative tradition five years later).
