Wilson House, also known as Old Jail and Yorkville Jail, is a historic home located at York, York County, South Carolina. It is attributed to Robert Mills and was built in 1828. It is a three-story, brick building originally designed as a local jail. It features brick arches and a semi-circular fanlight.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
