Der Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize ist ein kanadischer Literaturpreis, der 1985 als einer der BC Book Prizes eingeführt wurde. Mit seiner Vergabe wird alljährlich das beste fiktionale schriftstellerische Werk eines Einwohners von British Columbia geehrt. Die Autoren müssen drei der letzten fünf Jahre in British Columbia gelebt haben.
Der Name des Preises stammt von der in Südafrika geborenen, aber in Kanada lebenden Schriftstellerin Ethel Wilson, Autorin von The Innocent Traveller (1949) und Swamp Angel (1954), deren Werk einen besonderen Bezug zur Landschaft British Columbias und deren Einwohnern besaß.
Die jeweilige Shortlist eines Jahrgangs wird im März bekannt gegeben.
