Judeline (Judi) Tyabji Wilson is a political figure in British Columbia, Canada. She was elected to the British Columbia legislature in 1991 as a Liberal.

After a scandal in which her romantic relationship with then-Liberal leader Gordon Wilson became public – Tyabji and Wilson were both married to other people at the time – and Wilson's loss in a subsequent Liberal leadership election, she and Wilson left the provincial Liberal Party in 1993 to found the Progressive Democratic Alliance. Tyabji was defeated in her bid for re-election in 1996.

She would later serve as a municipal councillor.

Tyabji has also hosted a weekday talk show on Victoria television station CHEK.

Tyabji was born in Kolkata, India.
