William Robertson Smith bol škótsky orientalista a bádateľ v oblasti Starého zákona, ktorého práca radikálne zmenila chápanie náboženstva. Vo svojom písaní skúmal náboženské témy bez ohľadu na doslovnú pravdivosť Biblie, čo vyvolalo kontroverzie. Jeho prístup bol založený na komparatívnom štúdiu náboženstva a jeho diela, často písané pre širšie publikum, sa stali základom pre budúci výskum v tejto oblasti.
