Valentine Mott (August 20, 1785 - April 26, 1865), American surgeon. He graduated at Columbia College and was appointed professor of surgery in 1809. In 1818 he tied the innominate artery and the patient lived twenty-six days. He performed a similar operation on the carotid forty-six times with good results; and in 1827 he was successful in the case of the common iliac. He is said to have performed one thousand amputations and one hundred and sixty-five lithotomies. He was on the founding faculty of the university medical college of New York, now New York University School of Medicine. He translated Alfred-Armand-Louis-Marie Velpeau's Operative Surgery, and was foreign associate of the Imperial Academy of Medicine of Paris. He died in 1865 at the age of 79.
