Amy Alexandra Wilson-Hardy (born 13 September 1991) is an English rugby union player. She made her debut for the England women's national rugby union team in 2013. She was selected as a member of the Great Britain women's national rugby sevens team to the 2016 Summer Olympics.[1][2]

She plays for Trailfinders Women in the Women's Premiership.[3] She was selected for the 2017 Women's Rugby World Cup squad.[4][5]

She won a bronze medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[6]

In June 2024, she was named in the British squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics.[7] She was later forced to withdraw from the final GB game of the tournament after being implicated in a racist social media post.[8] The team finished seventh.[9] In September 2024, the Rugby Football Union announced no further action would be taken following an investigation into the alleged racist message, stating Wilson-Hardy had "expressed great remorse" for the "historical private message" and had "committed to undertake an inclusion and diversity awareness education course."[10]
