William Michael "Mike" Wilds (born 7th January, 1946 in Chiswick, United Kingdom) is a British racing driver most famous for his entries in Formula One.

Wilds entered the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix for the Stanley-BRM team but the team would withdraw unexpectedly from the race. Wilds would make another attempt at the Italian Grand Prix for the Wheatcroft team - but failed to pre-qualify.

However, Wilds' best result would come in the 1976 Oulton Park International Gold Cup, where he would take a second place finish behind Jonothon Hunter.

Following his brief Formula One run, he switched into sportscars and historic racing - where he still races to this day. Aside from this, he is a driver coach and has also competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB.
