Landon Timmonds Ross, Jr. (born October 19, 1942) is 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.
