Colonel Derek Wilford OBE (16 February 1933 – 24 November 2023) was a British Army officer who commanded the 1st Battalion, Parachute Regiment.
In Derry,[1] Northern Ireland on Bloody Sunday he was in command when soldiers within his battalion shot 26 unarmed civilian protesters, killing 13 of them. At the time he was a lieutenant colonel.[2][3] The following year he was awarded the OBE by Queen Elizabeth II, widely seen as a reward for his part in Bloody Sunday.[4] The Saville Inquiry into the incident found that he had ignored orders, without justification, and in doing so had "set in train" the shootings.
