Hedley Paul Willmott (* 1945) ist ein britischer Militärhistoriker, der sich mit seinen Publikationen, im Besonderen über den Ersten und Zweiten Weltkrieg, internationale Anerkennung erworben hat.

Leben und Wirken

Willmott promovierte an der Universität London und war Hauptlektor der Abteilung für Kriegsanalysen an der Königlichen Militärakademie in Sandhurst. Als Mitglied der Royal Historical Society lehrte er an britischen und amerikanischen Universitäten und Militärakademien, so an der Temple University, der University of Memphis. 1992 bis 1994 hatte er den Lehrstuhl für Seekriegsgeschichte am National War College in Washington D.C. in den USA inne.
