In this paper we consider the product of all elements in the group of units in a finite ring and we generalize Wilson s theorem to finite rings. As an application, we study some generalizations of Wilson s theorem on residually finite Dedekind domains. And we also give some examples for such rings. Moreover we study some generalizations of Wilson s theorem on rings of matrices over a finite commutative ring.
