Francis Henry Trevithick was an ''[[oyatoi gaikokujin]]'', a European brought to Japan by the [[Meiji government]] to aid in the development of Japan's [[railroads]].
He first arrived in Japan in [[1876]]. After working for some time as agency president (''kikan gata tôtori'') in [[Kobe]], he was transferred to Tokyo, where he was based at [[Shinbashi Station]] and served as director of locomotives (''kisha kantoku''). When his contract ended in [[1897]], he returned home to Europe.
His older brother, Richard Francis Trevithick, was also involved in the development of Japan's railroads at that time.
