      Austin Shuey Mann (January 14, 1847 – September 19, 1914) was an American lawyer, orange grove owner, and politician who served in the Florida Senate and Florida House of Representatives. He represented Hernando County.[2]

      Mann was born in Ohio.[3] He later lived in the area of Crystal River, Florida and had orange groves.

      He served in the Florida Senate from 1883 until 1887.[4] He was in the Florida House in 1891. [2] Mannfield, Florida, the county seat until Inverness was chosen to replace it, was named for him. It is now a ghost town in the Withlacoochee State Forest.[5]

      His daughter, May Mann, married William Sherman Jennings, who served as Governor of Florida.[5][6][7]
