Hewitson (spr. jū-ĭts'n), William, Naturforscher, geb. 9. Jan. 1806 in Newcastle upon Tyne, gest. 28. Mai 1878, erlernte die Feldmesserkunst in York, wendete aber sein größtes Interesse den Naturwissenschaften zu. Er schrieb: »British oology« (1831; neue Bearbeitung als »Illustrations of the eggs of British birds«, 1846, 2 Bde.; 2. Aufl. 1853); »The genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera« (mit Doubleday 1846, später vollendet mit Westwood); »Exotic butterflies« (1852–60, 2 Bde.); »Illustrations of Diurnal Lepidoptera« (1868–69, 4 Bde.). Seine Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge (mehr als 4000 Arten) war die vorzüglichste ihrer Art.
