Wool Market (also Woolmarket) is an unincorporated community in Harrison County, Mississippi. Wool Market is approximately northwest of Biloxi and part of the Gulfport-Biloxi metropolitan area.
Historically, the settlement was called "Wool Market", though presently, the one-word "Woolmarket" has been adopted, as can be observed at "Woolmarket Elementary School", and in official documents published by Harrison County government.
A post office operated under the name Wool Market from 1889 to 1911 and under the name Woolmarket Rural Station from 1969 to 1982.
The community was previously listed as a census designated place until it was annexed by the city of Biloxi, Mississippi prior to the 2000 U.S. census.
