Stephen Herbert Langdon bol americko-britský asyrológ, ktorého práca sa sústredila na hlboké pochopenie starovekých mezopotámskych kultúr. Jeho bádanie odhaľovalo zložitosti klinového písma a náboženských praktík dávnych civilizácií. Langdonovým hlavným prínosom bolo sprístupnenie týchto dávnych textov a myšlienok širšiemu publiku. Jeho literárny štýl sa vyznačoval precíznosťou a akademickou hĺbkou, čím prispel k rozvoju štúdia starovekého Blízkeho východu.
