Richard Hakluyt (um 1552 - 1616), war englischer Geistlicher und Geograph in Oxford. Sein großes Interesse galt der Geschichte der Entdeckungen und so sammelte und publizierte er Berichte über Entdeckungsfahrten. Sein Hauptwerk Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffics, and Discoveries of the English Nation, eine Sammlung von Reisebeschreibungen, erschien als einbändiges Werk zuerst 1589, in zweiter, erweiterter dreibändiger Auflage 1598 - 1600. Die Publikation von Berichten über die frühen Reisen und Entdeckungen wird von der Hakluyt Society, gegründet 1846, bis in die heutige Zeit fortgesetzt.
