William Comyns Beaumont, also known as Comyns Beaumont, (1873–1956) was a British eccentric with several unusual beliefs, many of which were later mirrored by Immanuel Velikovsky's works. Beaumont was a staff writer for the Daily Mail who eventually became editor of The Bystander in 1903 and then The Graphic in 1932.

Among Beaumont's propositions were:

catastrophic climate changes were the results of the action of asteroids on the earth.
The Egyptian dynasties up to the 13th century BC ruled in South Wales.
Jerusalem was originally located in Edinburgh.
The works of Shakespeare were written by Francis Bacon.
Francis Bacon was the illegitimate son of Queen Elizabeth I.
There is a Zionist plot to undermine the British Empire.
Part of this plot was disinformation disseminated by means of the Bible, which concealed the fact that the Holy Lands were in Britain, not in Palestine.
The British Isles were Atlantis.
Jesus was born in Glastonbury, and his life played out in Somerset.
