Everard Francis Aguilar (14 March 1913 – 16 August 1966) was a Jamaican horticulturist, stamp dealer, and philatelist.
He was a member of a family of Jamaican businessmen known for their connections to the horse racing industry. He first worked in real estate before dividing his time between horticulture and philately, both of which were his hobbies as well as his professions. He wrote and published a handbook of the philately of Jamaica in 1949 and from 1949 to 1958 edited and published the British West Indian Philatelist.
He wrote a survey of the postal history, postage stamps and postmarks of the Cayman Islands with Philip Saunders that was published in 1962 and became a standard work on the area. He re-established the Jamaica Philatelic Society in 1963 and edited its journal but his later years were marred by feuding with the Jamaican government, post office, and others. He fell seriously ill in early 1966 and died the same year, being buried at sea rather than at the family grave plot in Kingston.
