Robert Townson

Robert Townson (* 1762 Spring Grove, Marshgate, Richmond, Surrey, Angleterre - † 27 juin 1827, Varro Ville, Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, Australie) est un médecin, naturaliste et voyageur d'origine écossaise.

Dans un ouvrage relatant son voyage en Hongrie, il détermine l'altitude relative entre les montagnes Lomnický štít et Kriváň. Il établit par erreur le Lomnický štít comme le point culminant de la chaîne des Hautes Tatras et de toutes les Carpates.
