Samuel William Bonney (March 8, 1815 - July 27, 1864) was an American missionary and author. After studying at New York University (NYU) for a short period of time, Bonney was appointed by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) to serve in China. He wrote the book A Vocabulary with Colloquial Phrases of the Canton Dialect, which serves as a dictionary for English speakers to more quickly pick up vocabulary in the region (also known as Guangzhou).
