The name Wilma has been used for five tropical cyclones worldwide: two in the Western Pacific Ocean, and one each in the Atlantic Ocean, the Australian region of the Indian Ocean, and the South Pacific Ocean. The name was retired in two basins: in the Atlantic after the 2005 season, where it was replaced with Whitney; and in the South Pacific after the 2010–11 season, where it was replaced with Wano.
