Laurence Austine Waddell (1854 - 1938) was a Scottish explorer, Professor of Tibetan, Professor of Chemistry and Pathology, Indian Army surgeon, collector in Tibet, and amateur archaeologist.

Waddell also studied Sumerian and Sanskrit; he made various translations of seals and other inscriptions.

His reputation as a Assyriologist gained little to no academic recognition and his books on the history of civilization have caused controversy.
