The Reverend Robinson Duckworth, DD, CVO, VD (4 December 1834 – 20 September 1911), was a British priest, who was present on the original boating expedition of 4 July 1862 during which Alice's adventures were first told by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson).
He is represented by the Duck in the book, a play on his last name.
He officiated at the funeral of Charles Darwin in 1882.
