John Michell (Nottinghamshire, 25 de dezembro de 1724 — Yorkshire, 29 de abril de 1793) foi um inglês filósofo naturalista, clérigo e geólogo que trabalhou muitos temas e forneceu intuições pioneiras em uma ampla gama de campos científicos, da astronomia à geologia, óptica e gravitação. Considerado "um dos maiores cientistas desconhecidos de todos os tempos", ele foi a primeira pessoa conhecida a propor a existência de buracos negros em publicação, o primeiro a sugerir que terremotos se propagam em ondas, o primeiro a explicar como manufaturar ímãs artificiais e o primeiro a aplicar estatísticas ao estudo do cosmos, reconhecendo que estrelas duplas eram um produto de gravitação mútua. Ele também inventou um aparelho para medir a massa da Terra. Ele foi chamado de pai da sismologia e pai da magnetometria. Leia mais na Wikipédia
