Barry Edward O'Meara (1786-1836) was an Irish surgeon and founding member of the Reform Club, who accompanied Napoleon to St. Helena and became his physician, having been surgeon on board the Bellerophon when the emperor surrendered himself. He is remembered as the author of "Napoleon in Exile, or A Voice From St. Helena" (1822) a book which charged Sir Hudson Lowe with mistreating the former emperor and created no small sensation on its appearance.
