Cedric Wilson (born 6 June 1948) is a former Northern Irish unionist politician who was leader of the Northern Ireland Unionist Party (NIUP) from 1999 to 2008, and a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Strangford from 1998 to 2003.
He founded the NIUP after resigning from the UK Unionist Party (UKUP), in response to party leader Bob McCartney's proposal to withdraw his MLAs from the Assembly, in the event of the IRA not decommissioning their weapons.
