  • 曹善允,CBE,LLD,JP(英語:Ts'o Seen-wan,1868年11月10日-1953年1月20日),香港律師、政治家和紳商,1929年至1937年任立法局非官守議員,另曾任潔淨局議員、團防局紳、香港大學校董、副主席和港府委員等公職。 早年先後在上海和英國受教的曹善允,對香港20世紀初的教育和醫療發展起重要貢獻,他是香港大學、聖士提反書院、聖士提反女子中學、金文泰中學和民生書院等學府的創校人及籌款人之一,也曾多次為聖保羅書院籌募經費;此外,他又參與創辦、何妙齡醫院、以及在1922年與合作創辦贊育醫院。曹善允在1915年和1916年間在華人社區推動種痘運動,後在1925年省港大罷工期間設法維持社會秩序,深獲港府肯定,屢獲殊勳。 在1912年,何啟爵士與區德合組,銳意在九龍灣填海,計劃興建稱之為啟德濱的「花園城市」。但何啟淡出後,填海計劃由本身是公司董事之一的曹善允繼續主持,並成功爭取港府在1915年批准填海計劃。共分三期的啟德填海計劃在1916年正式展開,雖然啟德公司完成了首兩期填海,然而,第三期填海卻無疾而終。為免填海計劃泡湯,港府在1927年宣佈接手第三期填海,並收回已填海但尚未發展的土地,整個地段日後逐漸發展,成為香港啟德國際機場。 (zh)
