Wilfred Sizer, DFC & Bar (23 February 1920 – 22 December 2006) was a British flying ace who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. He is credited with having shot down twelve aircraft.

Born in Chelmsford, Sizer joined the RAF in 1938 and was serving with No. 213 Squadron at the time of the outbreak of the Second World War. He flew extensively in the Battle of France and the subsequent Battle of Britain, claiming a number of aerial victories. He commanded No. 93 Squadron during the final months of the Tunisian campaign and during the invasion of Sicily. He left the RAF in 1946 but after briefly working as a charter pilot, he rejoined the service. His postwar career in the RAF included a period as commander of No. 54 Squadron. After his retirement from the military in 1963, he worked for an avionics company in the Middle East. He spent his final years in England and died in 2006, aged 86.
