Addison Graves "Joe" Wilson (b. July 31, 1947) is a politician from the state of South Carolina.

Wilson was born in Charleston, South Carolina and he graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1969. Wilson worked as an aide to Floyd Spence and Strom Thurmond. He was elected to the South Carolina state senate in 1984 as a Republican.

Congressman Spence died in 2001 and Wilson ran for Spence's seat in the House of Representatives. During a debate on the possibility of going to war in Iraq, Wilson called Congressman Bob Filner "viscerally anti_American" and claimed that he had a "hatred of America" after Filner suggested the United States supplied chemical and biological weapons to Saddam Hussein. Wilson said later that he didn't intend to insult Filner. Wilson ran for re-election in 2004 after deciding not to run for the United States Senate and handily beat his opponents, Democrat Michael Ray Ellisor and Constitution Party nominee Steve Lefemine.
