William Thomas Calman (December 29, 1871 - September 29, 1952) was a Scottish zoologist, specialising in the Crustacea. He was born in Dundee, and in the scientific societies there, he met D'Arcy Thompson. He later became Thompson's lab boy, which allowed him to attend lectures at the University of Dundee for free. After his graduation with distinction in 1895, he took on a lecturership at the University, where he remained for eight years. He later worked at the Natural History Museum, where he became assistant curator of Crustacea and Pycnogonida and keeper of zoology. In 1909, he wrote the Crustacea section in Lankester's "Treatise on Zoology", where he introduced the superorders Eucarida, Peracarida and Hoplocarida as well as the concept of the caridoid facies, a hypothetical ancestral malacostracan. He also established the current division of the Branchiopoda into the four orders Anostraca, Notostraca, Conchostraca and Cladocera. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1921, being the first graduate of the University of Dundee to do so. Calman retired to Tayport in 1936, but returned to teaching during the Second World War at Queen's College, Dundee and St. Andrews. He was awarded the Linnean Medal in 1946.
