Dr. Richard Sprigg Steuart (1797–1876) was a Maryland physician and an early pioneer of the treatment of mental illness. He was instrumental in the expansion and modernisation of The Maryland Hospital for the Insane now known as the Spring Grove Hospital Center which became his life’s work. Spring Grove continues to treat mental illness today and is the second oldest institution of its kind in the United States.
