12. november 1819 – 11. apríl 1899
Monier Monier-Williams bol kľúčovou postavou v oblasti štúdia a výuky ázijských jazykov v Anglicku, najmä sanskrtu. Jeho celoživotné dielo, rozsiahly slovník sanskrtu a angličtiny, zostáva dodnes cenným zdrojom pre lingvistov aj študentov. Venoval sa nielen akademickej práci, ale aktívne presadzoval aj konverziu Indie ku kresťanstvu ako jeden z cieľov orientalistického bádania. Založil tiež Indický inštitút na Oxfordskej univerzite, ktorý slúžil ako centrum pre štúdium Indie a prípravu úradníkov pre Indickú občiansku službu.
