  • Augustus Montague Toplady, född 4 november 1740 i Farnham, Surrey, England, död 11 augusti 1778 i London, var en engelsk präst och psalmdiktare. Han gick i skola i London och senare Dublin, där han tog magistergraden. Under denna tid genomgick han sin andliga kris. Han prästvigdes vid 22 års ålder för tjänstgöring i anglikanska kyrkan men trädde senare i tjänst hos en kalvinistisk församling i London. Han hade en annan syn på helgelsen än metodisterna och utkämpade många strider med den rörelsens starke man John Wesley. Dock omfattade Toplady de grundläggande idealen i väckelsen. (sv)
