Wilson Elwood Callan (October 8, 1939 – August 13, 2022)[1] was a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Bellevue in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1975 to 1979 and 1981 to 1985. He was a member of the Newfoundland Reform Liberal Party and Liberal for his first term and a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador for his second.[2]
He was born in Norman's Cove-Long Cove.[3] Callan was first elected to the Newfoundland assembly as a Reform Liberal member. He joined the Liberals in September 1976.

He was elected again in 1982 and 1985. He later joined the Conservatives. Callan did not run for reelection in 1989.[4]
