Wiley Hardeman Post (født 22. november 1898 i Van Zandt County i Texas i USA, død 15. august 1935 i Point Barrow) var den første som fløy jorden rundt alene. Han ble også kjent for sine arbeider innen flyving i store høyder og han var med og utviklet en av de første trykkdraktene. Flyet hans, Winnie Mae er utstilt ved National Air & Space Museums Steven F. Udvar Hazy Center i nærheten av Dulles International Airport i Chantilly, VA, og hans trykkdrakt er under bearbeiding for å kunne utstilles samme sted. Den 15. august 1935 ble Post og den amerikanske komikeren Will Rogers drept da hans fly havarerte under take-off fra en lagune i nærheten av Point Barrow i Alaska.
