has abstract
| - Tomás O'Neille y Salmón (5 de octubre de 1764 - desconocido) fue un gobernador colonial español del archipiélago Caribe occidental de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, hoy parte de la República de Colombia. O'Neille era hijo de un padre irlandés y una madre canaria. Su origen familiar lo hizo bilingüe y esta habilidad influiría y ayudaría en su carrera posterior. Sería el intérprete a bordo de la expedición española enviada para expulsar a la población de habla inglesa del archipiélago en 1789, habiendo llegado al Nuevo Mundo nueve años antes de esto a la temprana edad de 16 años. En lugar de su expulsión (acordado por los poderes coloniales bajo el Tratado de Versalles y la Convención de 1786) él sería instrumental no solo para ayudar a asegurar la posición de los habitantes existentes (protestantes de habla inglesa), sino que se convertiría en su gobernador y tendría un impacto significativo en las islas en un momento crucial en su historia.
