William James MacNeven (also sometimes rendered as MacNevin or McNevin) (21 March 1763 Ballinahown, near Aughrim, Co. Galway, Ireland - 12 July 1841 New York City) was an Irish physician forced, as a result of his involvement with insurgent United Irishmen, into exile in the United States where he became the reputed "father of American chemistry". One of the oldest obelisks in New York City is dedicated to him to the right facing St. Paul's Chapel on Broadway; while to the left stands another obelisk, dedicated to Thomas Emmet, a fellow United Irishman, and Attorney General of New York. MacNeven's monument features a lengthy inscription in Irish, one of the oldest existent dedications of this kind in the Americas.

  • Lia is ceimicí a rugadh i mBaile na hAbhna, Contae na Gaillimhe, ab ea William James MacNeven (21 Márta 1763 - 12 Iúil 1841). Oileadh é i Vín agus Prág. Ar ais i mBaile Átha Cliath bhí sé i gceannas sa Chumann Caitliceach agus na hÉireannaigh Aontaithe. Cuireadh i bpríosún é i 1798. Nuair a saoradh é i 1802 cuireadh bac air filleadh go hÉirinn, agus i 1803 chuaigh sé go Nua-Eabhrac. Luigh sé isteach ar thaighde sa cheimic in Ollscoil Nua-Eabhrac, ar uisce mianraí Nua-Gheirsí ar dtús, tionchar uisce ar shláinte an phobail, agus comhdhúile bairiam is cailciam. Scríobh sé An Exposition of the Atomic Theory (Míniú ar an Teoiric Adamhach, 1819). Chuir sé an cheimic go mór chun cinn i Meiriceá, ionas gur tugadh ‘athair na ceimice Meiriceánaí’ mar leasainm air.
