Alfred Watkins (27 January 1855 – 15 April 1935) was an English author, self-taught amateur archaeologist, antiquarian and businessman who, while standing on a hillside in Herefordshire, England, in 1921 experienced a revelation.

He noticed on the British landscape an apparent arrangement of straight lines positioned along ancient features.For these he subsequently coined the term "ley", now usually referred to as ley line, because the line passed through places whose names contained the syllable "ley".
