Alicia Wilson (born 5 March 2000) is a British swimmer.[1][2] She competed in the women's 100 metre backstroke event at the 2020 European Aquatics Championships, in Budapest, Hungary.[3]

Wilson was named as a member of the British team to go to the postponed 2020 Olympics in April 2021. This would be her first Olympics where she would join an "exceptionally high quality team" including more experienced Olympians. She got through the heats and semi finals to make the Olympic final in the 200m Individual Medley.[4]
