Wilson Fittipaldi (4 August 1920 - 11 March 2013) was a Brazilian race car driver, businessman, and radio broadcaster specialized in motorsport. Known as "Barão" (The Baron), Wilson worked for decades on Jovem Pan radio broadcasts and was also a commentator for the news program Record em Notícias on TV Record in the 1980s.
