Gordon McKay (1821–1903) was an American businessman and philanthropist. He was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He was trained as an engineer, worked on a railroad, and then on the Erie Canal before he purchased a machine shop. Around 1844 McKay established this business, which grew to employ over 100 men. He later met J.C. Hoadley, a future business partner who would become known for creating portable steam engines. Eventually the company became known as McKay and Hoadley,
