Robert Charles Wroughton (1849-1921) was an officer in the Indian Forest Service and a member of the Bombay Natural History Society who conducted a collaborative mammal survey in 1911. It is believed to be the first collaborative biodiversity study in the world.[1] The project accumulated 50,000 specimens over 12 years, especially of the smaller mammals and the information was published in 47 papers. Several new species were discovered in the process.

Several species are named after him including
