Mayhew Folger (March 9, 1774 – September 1, 1828) was an American whaler who captained the sealing ship Topaz that rediscovered the Pitcairn Islands in 1808. Only one of HMS Bounty's mutineers was still alive: John Adams, whose alias was Alexander Smith.
Folger's grandson, William Mayhew Folger (1844-1928), became a United States Navy rear admiral.
