Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz (February 2, 1878 - July 17, 1965) was an American anthropologist interested in comparative religion, noted in particular for his study of Celtic fairy faith, and his later work studying the religions of India and Tibet, the latter being the object of several books which he edited and annotated, including Kazi Dawa-Samdup's English translation of the Bardo Thodol (published as Tibetan Book of the Dead).
