Wilfred J. Baker (June 29, 1900 – March 5, 2007) was a Scottish First World War-era veteran and veteran of the Second World War.
Baker was born in England. He joined the Royal Navy in December 1918, just after the Armistice. He also served in the Second World War, retiring as a lieutenant commander in 1948, after which he worked at a miners' hostel in Dalkeith.
His wife May died in 1983, aged 87, shortly after their 60th wedding anniversary.
Baker died in Newlands Care Home in Dunfermline, Fife, aged 106. He was just one day younger than Scotland's oldest man, Bob Taggart. At the time of his death, he had four grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and a great-great-grandchild.
