William Ross Maples, Ph.D. (1937–1997) was an American forensic anthropologist working at the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory at the Florida Museum of Natural History. His specialty was the study of bones. He worked on many high-profile criminal investigations, many of them concerning historical figures such as Francisco Pizarro, the Romanov family, Joseph Merrick (known as "Elephant Man"), President Zachary Taylor and Medgar Evers. His insights often proved beneficial in closing cases that otherwise may have remained unsolved.
