Arthur Earl "Dutch" Wilson (December 11, 1885 – June 12, 1960) was a professional baseball player.
He played all or part of fourteen seasons in Major League Baseball, primarily as a catcher. Wilson spent most of his career as a backup, although he was the starting catcher for the Federal League's Chicago Whales during their two-season tenure in 1914-15.
He was the catcher for Cubs pitcher Hippo Vaughn during the "double no-hitter" game in 1917.
The Cubs lost the game when Larry Kopf singled, then went to third on an error by Cy Williams and scored on an infield hit by Jim Thorpe in the 10th inning. In 812 games over 14 seasons, Wilson posted a .261 batting average (536-for-2056) with 237 runs, 24 home runs and 227 RBI.
He finished his career with a .972 fielding percentage.
