Wayne W. Light (1882-) was a lawyer and light delivery vehicle inventor. He was born August 5, 1882 to Wellington W. Light (1860-1895) and Mary M. Benson Light (1861-1895) in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he was later admitted to the Berks bar.

Around 1905, Light organized the Quick Delivery Company in Philadelphia to operate a commercial express delivery service for local businesses. Over the next decade he developed a light delivery vehicle with three wheels and a chain drive that he hoped would replace horse-drawn wagons in city delivery, helping in the process to reduce traffic congrestion and speed delivery times.

In 1914, Light formed the Wayne Light Commercial Car Company Inc. to manufacture the vehicle with a factory in Marion (Jersey City), New Jersey. Apparently, the product was not a success, either because World War I interfered with production or because trucks were rapidly evolving, and larger payloads soon became the norm.

By 1916, Light was working as sales manager for the VIM Motor Truck Company in Philadelphia, which made more conventional light delivery trucks.

In the later half of 1940, Light moved to New York City, where he worked as an engineering counsel.

He married Helen P. Houser (1890-) in 1910 and they had William W. Light (1917-) and Frances T. Light (1922-2007). An exact death date is unknown, but it was sometime after 1948.
