Dr Edward Stevens FRSE (February 21, 1754 – September 26, 1834) was an American physician and diplomat. He was a close friend of American soldier and statesman Alexander Hamilton. Stevens' date of birth was unclear due to lack of records, with the year 1752 being published by Kristian Caroe, without sources, in his 1905 book "Den danske lægestand, 1479-1900" until Historian Michael E. Newton published contemporary records establishing Stevens birthplace and date.
