Harding "Hop" Wilson (April 27, 1921 – August 27, 1975) was an influential American Texas blues steel guitar player and singer, known for his unique sound and contribution to the genre. Born in Grapeland, Texas, Wilson learned to play the guitar and harmonica at a young age, acquiring his first steel guitar between the ages of 12 and 18. His nickname "Hop" was a derivative of "Harp," reflecting his early harmonica playing.

Wilson's music career began in the 1950s when he performed with drummer Ivory Lee Semien and bassist "Ice Water" Jones. He recorded tracks in 1957 for Goldband Records and later signed with Ivory Records in Houston in 1960. Despite his aversion to touring, Wilson's local performances left a lasting impact on the blues scene. His style was influenced by both the black Texas blues tradition and the amplified steel guitar sounds of white Western Swing bands.

Wilson's recording career, though described as "slight," influenced notable musicians like Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones and Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac. His song "My Woman Has A Black Cat Bone" became a blues standard, covered by artists such as Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland, and Robert Cray.

Wilson's discography includes "Blues With Friends At Goldband" (1981) and "Steel Guitar Flash!" (1988). His legacy continues to inspire contemporary blues musicians, solidifying his place in the history of Texas blues.
