Horace Newton Allen (April 23, 1858 – December 11, 1932) was a medical doctor and the first American Protestant missionary in Korea, arriving there in late 1884. He served in Korea at the end of the Joseon Dynasty, becoming close to the emperor. At his suggestion, in 1885 the emperor founded the institution that became known as Severance Hospital in Seoul (now in South Korea). It is now part of the Yonsei University Health System. Due to Allen's relationship with the emperor and other officials, Allen became part of the United States Legation to Korea: he was appointed as secretary in 1890 and as US minister and consul general in 1897.
