William Bragge, F.S.A., F.G.S., (31 May 1823 – 6 June 1884) was an English civil engineer, antiquarian and author. He established a museum and art gallery. He was notable in his day for collecting a comprehensive library of the literature on tobacco. This covered tobacco information in all its forms and in almost all languages, with pamphlets, engravings and other publications filling 17 large volumes. The original and revised volumes constitute the earliest specialist bibliography in the English language.
