Côme-Damien Degland (6 July 1787 – 1 January 1856, Lille) was a French physician and zoologist.
[1] Degland was born at Armentières, and lived in Lille for most of his life, where he was the chief of the Hôpital Saint-Sauveur, and where he died.
He participated in the founding of the Lille Natural History Museum, which owed much of its original zoological collection to purchases he made.
[citation needed] With Zéphirin Gerbe, he was co-author of Ornithologie européenne, ou, Catalogue descriptif, analytique et raisonné des oiseaux observés en Europe (second edition, 1867).
[2][3] A bird species, the white-winged scoter (Melanitta deglandi), is named after Degland.
