Burr Caswell (1807–1896) was an American frontiersman and the first white man to occupy any part of Mason County, Michigan. His activities were pioneering: he was the first white man to make a permanent farm from the American government in the wilds of Mason County; became the county's first coroner, probate judge and surveyor; and constructed its first framed building that functioned as a home, courthouse and jail—it is also the only surviving landmark of Mason County's earliest history. Caswell was also the progenitor of a prominent Mason County family.
