John Thomas "Jocky" Wilson (* 22. März 1950 in Kirkcaldy, Fife, Schottland) ist ein ehemaliger Weltmeister im Dartsport.

Jocky spielte von 1979 bis 1993 bei der BDO , wo er die Lakeside Professional World Darts Championship in den Jahren 1982 und 1989 gewann.

Er war einer der maßgeblich beteiligten Dartspielern, die sich 1993 von der BDO abspalteten und die PDC gründeten. Jedoch konnte Jocky Wilson seitdem seine starken Leistungen, die er in der BDO erbrachte, in der PDC nicht wiederholen. Sein größter Erfolg war dort das Erreichen des Viertelfinales beim World Matchplay 1994.

Zusätzlich litt Jocky unter schweren Krankheiten, die aus seinem starken Alkohol-, Tabak-, und Süßigkeitenkosum resultierten. Dies führte letztendlich zu seinem Karriereende im Jahr 1995. Jedoch verkündete er dies nicht offiziell, sondern er tauchte nach dem World Matchplay 1995 unter und lebt seitdem abgeschottet von der Öffentlichkeit in seiner Heimatstadt, alle Interviews ablehnend.
