John Baptiste DuBay (July 10, 1810 – January 11, 1887) was a pioneer fur trader throughout the upper Midwest, primarily in Wisconsin. He was very successful in several of his endeavors. However, in 1857 he was accused of the murder of a mill owner in Portage, Wisconsin. Despite two mistrials and an aborted third trial he was not convicted. Nevertheless, the experience left him financially ruined.
