The Wilsonflya is a snow-covered mountain saddle in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the southwestern part of the Ahlmannryggen it lies between the Kjølrabbane and the Aurhø .
Norwegian cartographers, who also named it, mapped the saddle based on surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952). It is named after the Swede Paul Ove Wilson (1921–1981), who worked as a doctor on this research trip.
