Arthur Butler Phillips Mee (October 21, 1860 - January 15, 1926) was a Scottish-born newspaper journalist, editor and notable amateur astronomer. He was most noted for his efforts in support of amateur astronomy. In 1890 he was a founding member of the British Astronomical Association, and for a period of time was a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. His observations focused on the Moon and Mars, including making detailed charts and drawings of the features.
