Bird Murphy Pearson, or Byrd Murphy Pearson, (1803 – October 9, 1859) was a Florida lawyer, planter and a Democratic politician who served on the Florida Supreme Court from 1856 to 1859, one of the first to be popularly elected.

The plantation he built at what is now Chinsegut Hill Manor House is on the National Register of Historic Places.

[1] An ardent proponent of states' rights, slavery, and secession, he was a delegate to the 1850 Nashville Convention.

It was felt that a bid to run for the Florida Supreme Court would be premature in 1853, as the State's sentiments were too pro Union.
