Frederick Lawson Whitlock (1860-1953) was an ornithological writer and oölogist, active across Western Australia.
He is noted for his many expeditions to remote regions, collecting the eggs and nests of birds and recording their behaviour.
His notes and specimens were often of little known or new bird populations, generating new names and descriptions.
Whitlock's specimens and notes on Conopophila whitei, the grey honeyeater, are regarded as the last new species to be 'discovered' in the state,.
