Judson Sykes Bury (1852–1944) was a British physician, surgeon, and neurologist.

Biography
After education at Amersham Hall and then two years at Owens College, Manchester, Judson Bury entered University College London and studied medicine at University College Hospital, London. In 1877 he qualified MRCS and graduated MB (Lond.). After holding house appointments at University College Hospital, he graduated MD (Lond.) in 1879. He returned to Manchester and, after one year as a senior resident medical officer at the Manchester Children's Hospital, Pendlebury, engaged in general practice. At the Manchester Royal Infirmary he became in 1885 a registrar, in 1889 an assistant physician, and in 1899 a full physician. In 1911 he became a professor of clinical at the University of Manchester. He retired from his Manchester appointments in 1912 but during WWI became a major in the RAMC and served on medical boards in Manchester and Warrington.

In 1893 Bury published A Treatise on Peripheral Neuritis, in large part consisting of observations by James Ross (1837–1892). Ross had intended to publish the observations in a monograph.

"On Ross's death at the age of 55 it was left to Bury to carry out the intention as fully as he could. The first half of the book was written from views expressed by word of mouth to him by Ross; but the rest was his own except for the section on diabetic neuritis written by R. D. Williamson."

Bury was elected FRCP in 1894.

"Judson Bury also published in 1894 Clinical Medicine, a manual for the use of students and junior practitioners; it met with a good response and a third edition appeared in 1912, written jointly with Albert Ramsbottom, his junior colleague at the Manchester Royal Infirmary."

Bury's article Multiple Symmetrical Peripheral Neuritis, contributed to the first edition of Clifford Allbutt's A System of Medicine, contained a section on an epidemic of neuritis in Manchester caused by arsenical impurity in beer. He gave the Bradshaw Lecture in 1901. He published Diseases of the Nervous System in 1912.

"He was a fine runner in his youth and a keen golfer up to his death at the age of ninety-two. He was married and had one daughter."
