William Warren (entomologist)

William Warren (1839, Cambridge - 1914) was an English entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera.

William Warren was first educated at Oakham School, and subsequently graduated at the University of Cambridge, taking first-class classical honours. He then taught at Doncaster Grammar School. He collected extensively in the British Isles, notably at Wicken Fen and on Micro-lepidoptera. After leaving Doncaster School he lived in Chiswick, London where he worked on Geometridae in the British Museum (Natural History) and also for Tring Museum. He was a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society of London
