Norma Wilson (11 December 1909 – 10 July 2000) was a New Zealand athlete who represented New Zealand at the 1928 Summer Olympics at London. She was a sprinter, and reached third in the semifinal in the 100m race.
She told the “stuffed shirt” officials when she returned that New Zealand needed a cinder track.
She also refused to run in a Basin Reserve appearance unless she could wear shorts, and in no time, all the girls were wearing shorts. She married Ted Morgan, a New Zealand boxer at the same Olympics, in 1933 but divorced him in 1938.
She then married Rangi Marsh, a jockey and lived in Hastings.
