Reports earlier today claimed that the 55-year-old had agreed terms at the Proact Stadium.
The Spireites have now confirmed the news, although the League One club have not disclosed the length of Wilson's contract.
The former Barnsley boss played for Chesterfield during the 1980s, making over 100 appearances in the process.
