Godfrey Higgins (30 January 1772 in Owston, Yorkshire – 9 August 1833 in Cambridge) was an English magistrate and landowner, a prominent advocate for social reform, historian, and antiquarian. He wrote concerning ancient myths. His book Anacalypsis, was published posthumously, in which he asserts a commonality among various religious myths, which he traces back to the supposed lost religion of Atlantis. He has been termed a "political radical, reforming county magistrate and idiosyncratic historian of religions".

  • Godfrey Higgins (* 1772 in Yorkshire, England; † 9. August 1833) war ein britischer Schriftsteller westlicher esoterischer Tradition. Er ist vor allem bekannt für seine beiden Bücher Anacalypsis und dessen Vorläufer The Celtic Druids. Anacalypsis ist Hauptquelle für das von Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, der Mitgründerin der Theosophischen Gesellschaft, geschriebene Buch Isis entschleiert und The World's Sixteen Crucified Saviors von Kersey Graves. Higgins bezeichnete sich selbst als Christ, obwohl er wenig Bezug zur Kirche hatte und die Lehre des Apostels Paulus kritisierte. (de)
