Ralph Josselin (26 January 1616 – August 1683) was the vicar of Earls Colne in Essex from 1640 until his death in 1683.
His diary records intimate details of everyday farming life, family and kinship in a small, isolated rural community, and is often studied by researchers interested in the period, alongside other similar diaries like that of Samuel Pepys.
