William Alexander Hammond, M.D. (August 28, 1828 January 5, 1900) was an American neurologist and the 11th Surgeon General of the U.S. Army (1862 1864). In addition to his pioneering work in neurology and his military service, especially during the Civil War, he founded the Army Medical Museum (now called the National Museum of Health and Medicine), co-founded the American Neurological Association, and gave his name to Hammond''s disease, a type of athetosis which he was the first to describe in 1871.
