David Wilson (born May 25, 1966)[1] is a Canadian former figure skater who currently works as a choreographer at the Toronto Cricket and Skating Club.[2]

As a skater, his competitive career was cut short when he was diagnosed with Osgood-Schlatter disease.[3] Following surgery on his knee, then 18-year-old Wilson toured with Ice Capades in North America.

With his then-partner, Jean-Pierre Boulais, Wilson settled in Montreal and began working as a choreographer.[3] Their breakout client was Sébastien Britten.

Later, Wilson moved to Toronto and worked with many notable skaters including World and Olympic champions and medalists.
