Ray Wilson (born 8 September 1968 in Dumfries) is a Scottish rock singer who got his start in the grunge band Stiltskin; they released one album and had a number one hit in the UK with the single "Inside". He is the cousin of Ian Wilson, better known as Ian Catskilkin, of UK Indie band Art Brut.

In 1997, Wilson joined Genesis following the departure of former vocalist and drummer Phil Collins. Genesis went on hiatus after one album, Calling All Stations, and a tour with Wilson.

Wilson went on to record a solo project called Cut_, which he has described as sounding the way the next Genesis might have sounded had the band attempted a second album with him. The album Millionairhead was released under this name.

In 2003 he released a solo album under his own name titled Change. The next year he released another studio album entitled The Next Best Thing, which included a cover of "Inside". He is currently working on a second Stiltskin album.

DJ and trance producer Armin van Buuren has produced remixes of the songs "Another Day" (retitled "Yet Another Day") and "Gypsy" from Millionairhead. Both remixes have been released on van Buuren's own albums, and "Yet Another Day" was also released as a single.
