Wiley Baker (1850 or 1851 – ?) was a state legislator in North Carolina. He represented Northampton County in the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1883.[1][2][3]

He was born in 1850 or 1851 and educated following the American Civil War.[4] He was African American.[4] A farmer who lived in Dogwood, North Carolina,[5] he also served as a county official.[6] He was one of a few Republicans – alongside William Belcher, Turner Speller, and Edward H. Sutton, among others – who generally opposed the creation of public schools for white cities in counties with significant black populations.[4] He served on a committee for the state's Deaf, Dumb, and Blind Asylum alongside Jacob Montgomery, James Harris, and William Johnson.[4]

There is no record of his life after the 1890s, and he may have died outside of North Carolina.[4]
