Walter Dannatt (1863–21 February 1940)[1] was an English entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera,[2] amassing a collection of over 18,000 specimens, principally from Jamaica and the Amazon.[3][4] Dannatt was a natural history dealer and a member of the Entomological Society of London.

He lived in Lee and in Blackheath,[5] both in southeast London (the Dannatt family ran a grocery business in Blackheath).[6][7] His sister Annie M.
