Abraham Darby III (1750 – 1791) was an English ironmaster and Quaker.
He carried on his family's tradition of improving the art of smelting iron. His most famous achievement was building the largest cast iron structure of his era: a bridge over the Severn. The bridge's importance caused the village of Ironbridge, Shropshire to grow up around it, with the area being subsequently named Ironbridge Gorge.
