Abraham de Mercado (fl.1638–55) was a member of the Jewish community of London. He settled in Barbados in 1655 where he practised as a physician and pharmacist. He was reported as having directed information to the Dutch in Brazil about a Portuguese plot (cf. Arbell, 2002, p. 194). Menasseh ben Israel dedicated the second part of his El Conciliador (1632) to De Mercado.
