John William Dawson was a prominent Canadian geologist and paleontologist, best known for his work in the field of geology during the 19th century. He played a pivotal role in the development of Canadian geology and was instrumental in the establishment of the Geological Survey of Canada. His research notably contributed to the understanding of the fossil record in Canada, particularly concerning the Eozoon canadense, which he controversially identified as the oldest known fossil.
