Adrian Hardy Haworth (1768, Hull, England - August 24, 1833, Chelsea, England) was an English entomologist, botanist and carcinologist. He was the author of Lepidoptera Britannica (1803-1828), the most authoritative work on British butterflies and moths until Henry Tibbats Stainton's Manual in 1857. He was also a carcinologist, specialising in shrimp. He is responsible for the names of several taxa, including:
- Order Mysida Haworth, 1825
- Family Mysidae Haworth, 1825
- Superfamily Pandaloidea Haworth, 1825
- Family Pandalidae Haworth, 1825
- Superfamily Crangonoidea Haworth, 1825
- Family Crangonidae Haworth, 1825
- Family Porcellanidae Haworth, 1825
and named 22 new genera of moths [1]
The plant genus Haworthia is named after Adrian Hardy Haworth. In 1833, he lent support to the founding of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London.
