John M. Hollway^[a] (1841 – 1907)^[1] was an English metallurgist and chemist who, in the 1870s, unsuccessfully tried out smelting and refining of copper using a converter based on the Bessemer process.

Although his attempts failed, conceding to the French engineers Pierre Manhès and Paul David^[fr], the honor of the invention of the Manhès-David process in 1880, the abundant communication he made on his failures constitute a significant contribution to the development and perfecting their process.
