Alexander Frederick Richmond Wollaston (22 May 1875, Clifton, Gloucestershire – 3 June 1930, Cambridge) was an English medical doctor, ornithologist, botanist, climber and explorer. Having qualified as a surgeon in 1903 after graduating from Cambridge, Wollaston decided to spend his life on exploration and natural history, travelling extensively; he wrote books about his travels and work, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society in 1907. After taking up an offer from John Maynard Keynes to become a tutor at Cambridge, Wollaston was murdered by Douglas Potts, a student, at his rooms in Cambridge.
