Temple Chevallier FRAS[1] (19 October 1794 in Badingham, Suffolk – 4 November 1873 in Harrow Weald) was a British clergyman, astronomer, and mathematician.

[5] That same year, Chevallier was invited to become Professor of Astronomy at the newly founded University of Durham.

A chair of Mathematics and Astronomy existed at the University of Durham between 1841 and 1871; Chevallier was the one to hold this post.

From 1835 until his death, he also served as perpetual Parish Priest at Esh, just outside Durham, where he founded the village school and restored the church.

[5] Chevallier had married, in 1825, Catherine,[5] daughter of American Loyalist Charles Apthorpe Wheelwright.
