Dr William Roxburgh FRSE FRCPE FLS (3 or 29 June 1751 – 18 February 1815) was a Scottish surgeon and botanist who worked extensively in India, describing species and working on economic botany.

Apart from the numerous species that he named, many species were named in his honour by his collaborators.
