Abraham Darby may refer to:

  • Abraham Darby I (1678–1717) the first of three generations with that name in an English Quaker family that played an important role in the Industrial Revolution. He developed a method of producing pig iron
  • Abraham Darby II (1711–1763) the second Abraham Darby in three generations in the Quaker family
  • Abraham Darby III (1750–1791) the third Abraham Darby, and involved in the building of the first iron bridge ever built
  • Abraham Darby IV (1804–1878), High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire

Abraham Darby may also refer to:

Abraham Darby III probably did not die in both 1791 AND 1789. This page and at least one other internet page say 1791, yet the page to which this page links and and many other internet pages say 1789. Needs a fix. Do not have any additional evidence to choose between.
