Richard Proctor fu un astronomo inglese ricordato principalmente per aver prodotto una delle prime mappe di Marte nel 1867. Il suo lavoro, derivato dalle osservazioni di altri, fu fondamentale per la comprensione iniziale della superficie del Pianeta Rosso. Proctor contribuì anche a determinare la durata del giorno marziano, con la sua stima che si rivelò notevolmente vicina ai valori moderni. La sua eredità scientifica è onorata da un cratere su Marte che porta il suo nome.
