Lieutenant Colonel Laurence Austine Waddell, CB, CIE, F.L.S., L.L.D, M.Ch., I.M.S. RAI, F.R.A.S (29 May 1854 – 19 September 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 an Assyriologist gained little to no academic recognition and his books on the history of civilization have caused controversy. Some of his book publications however were popular with the public, and he is regarded by some today to have been a real-life precursor of the fictional character Indiana Jones.

В поздние годы публиковал исторические сочинения, которые не были признаны в научном мире. Иногда его считают реальным предтечей вымышленного персонажа Индианы Джонса. Искал место рождения Будды, но в последний момент для финального поиска вместо него был направлен А.А. Фюрер, который и обнаружил его в Лумбини. Принимал участие в экспедициях в Бирме, Индии и сопредельных странах. Учил шумерский и санскрит. (ru)
