Neil McLean (1759 – September 3, 1832) was a judge and political figure in Upper Canada.
He was born in Scotland in 1759, descended from the Chiefs of Mingarry Castle on the Isle of Mull, and came to North America as a young man and ensign with the 84th Regiment of Foot (Royal Highland Emigrants) to fight in the American Revolution.
As a leading Presbyterian and a Highland gentleman and officer, McLean was a pre-eminent figure in the local community.
He served as sheriff in the Eastern District and, in 1788, was named judge in the surrogate court.
He served in the Stormont militia during the War of 1812, becoming colonel and commanding at the Battle of Hoople's Creek and the Occupation of Cornwall.
