Carroll Quigley (November 9, 1910January 3, 1977) was a historian and professor of history at Georgetown University from 1941 to 1976.

Quigley was born in Boston, where he attended school and later received both undergraduate degrees and a doctorate from nearby Harvard University.

At Georgetown University, Quigley joined the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, where he taught the course, Development of Civilization. Quigley's lectures would leave a strong impression on many of his students. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton, who studied under Quigley at Georgetown University, named Quigley as an important influence on his political beliefs.[1]

In addition to his academic work, Quigley was a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Navy, the Smithsonian Institution, and the Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration, which went on to establish NASA.
