Landon Timmonds Ross Jr. (October 19, 1942 – February 7, 2016) was an American environmental biologist.
He received master's degrees in geology from Florida State University (FSU master's thesis) and paleontology (Harvard University), and a biology Ph.D. from Florida State (FSU doctoral dissertation), while studying malacology there.
Ross spent his career, between 1970 and 2000, employed as an environmental biologist: as lead biologist with the state of Florida agency regulating the environment (Pollution Control, Environmental Regulation), or as central biology laboratory leader (Environmental Protection).
His scientific contributions cover a relatively wide range of subjects, mostly related to Florida's environment.
