Louis Atwell Olney (1875, Providence, Rhode Island, USA - 1949)[1] was a pioneering textile chemist and educator.
He was the founder and first president of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists[2] which in 1944 established the Olney Medal, in his honor, to recognize outstanding achievements in textile or polymer chemistry or other fields of chemistry of major importance to textile science.[3]
