Arthur Dehon Little (December 15, 1863 - August 1, 1935) was an American chemist and chemical engineer. He founded the Cellulose Products Company demonstrating that cellulose acetate could be used in producing nonflammable wire insulation and artificial silk. Eastman Kodak purchased the company's patents for the first nonflammable motion picture film and the Lustron Company bought the artificial silk patents becoming the only American manufacturer of acetate silk. He was instrumental in developing chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He also taught paper making at MIT from 1893 to 1916.
