Norman MacColl (1843–1904) was a Scottish man of letters, known as a Hispanist and editor of the Athenæum. LifeBorn on 31 August 1843 at 28 Ann Street, Edinburgh, he was the only child of Alexander Stewart MacColl and his wife Eliza Fulford of Crediton.

He was in post up to the end the end of 1900, working without an assistant until 1896. As editor he watched the style of contributors, and they could be corrected in published correspondence.[1] His replacement in 1900 as editor was his assistant, Vernon Horace Rendall (1869–1960).[3] MacColl ventured into society comparatively little, but occasionally visited Westland Marston's Sunday parties.
