Major-General Sir John George Woodford, KCB (28 February 1785 – 22 March 1879) was a British Army officer who has been called "possibly the first battlefield archaeologist".[1] He served in the Napoleonic Wars, and in 1818, did archaeological work in the area surrounding the Battle of Agincourt.

Woodford played a large role in military reform before his retirement in 1841. Battlefield archaeologist Tim Sutherland called him the last living British officer to have served at the Battle of Waterloo.[1]
