W.A.S. Sarjeant (William Antony Swithin Sarjeant, 1935-1999) was a British-born Canadian geologist and historian of geology. He is known for his extensive work on the history of science, particularly his research into the life and work of Thomas Paine, the radical writer and philosopher of the American and French Revolutions. Sarjeant's research revealed new details about Thomas Paine's early life, particularly his time in England as an exciseman (tax officer) and his family background.
