Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St Alban , also known as Lord Verulam, was an English philosopher and statesman who served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England under King James I. Bacon led the advancement of both natural philosophy and the scientific method and his works remained influential even in the late stages of the Scientific Revolution.

Francis Bacon oli englantilainen yleisnero: kirjailija, lakimies, filosofi ja valtiomies. Bacon otti elämäntehtäväkseen uudistaa kaikki tieteet ja hänen ajatuksensa ovat monien tieteellisten ja filosofisten suuntauksien pohjana. Silti on edelleen vaikea määritellä kuinka suuri hänen vaikutuksensa edellä mainittuihin on ollut, koska hän oli enemmän tieteen agendan julistaja kuin käytännön työn tekijä.
