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, and collected a notably comprehensive library of the literature on tobacco, in all its forms and 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.
