Andrew Turnbull (1718–1792) was a British Consul at Smyrna. He organized the largest attempt at British colonization in the New World by founding New Smyrna, Florida, named in honor of his wife's birthplace. New Smyrna, Florida Colony, founded in 1768, encompassed some 101,400 acres (410 km²) and was nearly three times the size of the colony at Jamestown.
