John William Draper
John William Draper (St Helens, 5. 5. 1811. – Hastings-on-Hudson, 4. 1. 1882), englesko-američki kemičar, fotograf i historičar. Zaslužan je za izradu prve jasne fotografije ženskog lica (1839/1840) i prve detaljne fotografije Mjeseca (1840). Obnašao je dužnost predsjednika Američkog kemijskog društva (1876–1877) i utemeljio je Medicinsku školu na Univerzitetu New York. U jednom od svojih djela popularizirao je ideju konfliktne teze tj. neprijateljskog odnosa religije i nauke. Njegov sin Henry Draper i unuka Antonia Maury bili su astronomi, njena mlađa sestra Carlotta Maury paleontolog, a njegov najstariji sin John Christopher Draper kemičar.
