The Hon. (Richard) Mark Watson (18 July 1906 – 12 March 1979) of London, England and of Nicasio, California, was a British diplomat who developed a special interest in the archaeology of Iceland. He is credited with having saved the Icelandic Sheepdog breed from extinction and was author of The Icelandic Dog 874 – 1956: A Research on the Iceland Dog (also Known as the Icelandic Sheepdog) (Nicasio, 1956), the most comprehensive research on that breed. He was a generous benefactor to Iceland and in April 1965 was decorated by the Icelandic President with the medal Stórriddarakross with a star (the Icelandic Order of the Falcon).
