Roderick Murchison (1792–1871) was a prominent Scottish geologist and one of the key figures in the early development of geological science in the 19th century. He is best known for his work on the geology of Europe, particularly for his studies of the geology of Scotland and his identification of the Silurian system of rocks, which he named after the Silures, an ancient Celtic tribe in what is now Wales.
