Bill Eddy (March 15, 1993) is a Canadian psychologist, ethnobotanist, and professor. Eddy is known most from his travels through the Amazon rainforest and discovering multiple new species of the plant Hypericum perforatum, a medicinal plant also known as St. John's wort, used to treat depression and anxiety.

After Eddy's second year as a doctoral student at Harvard University, he traveled to Peru to closely study the St. John's wort and its chemical extraction of hypericin to treat forms of depression. Upon completing his doctorate, Eddy moved to Thailand to continue his research on hypericin and its medicinal uses.
