Thomas Wayland Vaughan (1870–1952) was an American geologist and oceanographer. He worked with the United States Geological Survey and United States National Museum, investigating the geology of the West Indies, Panama Canal Zone, and the eastern coast of North America. In 1924 Vaughan became director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and held the post until his retirement in 1936. His research work concentrated on the study of corals and coral reefs, the investigation of larger foraminifera, and oceanography.〔(Archival record for Thomas Wayland Vaughan Papers, 1908–1947 and undated ) from the Smithsonian Institution Archives.

Vaughan was one of five children born to Dr. Samuel Floyd Vaughan and Annie R. Hope. He entered Tulane University in 1885 intending to enter the medical profession, but became interested in physical science and graduated with a Bachelor of Science.〔Thompson, Thomas G. ("Thomas Wayland Vaughan" ), National Academy of Sciences: Washington DC (1958). Retrieved on May 25, 2012.〕 From 1889–1892, Vaughan taught physics and chemistry at Mount Lebanon, Louisiana. During this time he published his first papers on the mollusks and trees of northwest Louisiana and began collecting fossils. This led him to study biology at Harvard University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in 1893, a Master of Arts in 1894, and completing his Ph.D in 1903 with a thesis titled ''Eocene and Oligocene Corals of the United States''. Before receiving his doctorate, he also worked as an assistant geologist for the United States Geological Survey from 1894 to 1903.〔
