  • ジョン・ウィリアム・ダン（John William Dunne, 1875年 - 1949年）はイギリスの航空エンジニア、軍人、思索家。「デューン」とも表記するが、発音は「ダン」の方に近い。J・W・ダンと略されることが多い。 1900年代（S・F・コディとほぼ同時期に）、イギリス陸軍の下で（大尉として）飛行機の開発に取り組んだ。ダンの飛行機は安定性に優れた全翼機（無尾翼機）で、イギリス最初の飛行機の一つであった。軍用機の黎明期に多くの機種に関わったことで、航空エンジニアとして名を成した。 ボーア戦争に従軍（最終軍歴は大尉？）。独自の「時間の理論」、「夢の理論」を提唱した思索家としても知られる。
