William Frédéric Edwards (1777–1842) was a French physiologist, of Jamaican background, who was also a pioneer anthropologist. He has been called "the father of ethnology in France".〔George W. Stocking, Jr. (editor), ''Bones, Bodies, Behavior: essays on biological anthropology'' (1990), pp. 20–22; (Google Books ).〕
