Mason Locke Weems (October 11, 1759 – May 23, 1825), usually referred to as Parson Weems, was an American minister, evangelical bookseller and author who wrote (and rewrote and republished) the first biography of George Washington immediately after his death. Some of the popular apocryphal stories about Washington can be traced to Weems, including the cherry tree tale ("I cannot tell a lie, I did it with my little hatchet"). That bestseller depicted Washington's virtues and was intended to provide a morally instructive tale for the youth of the young nation. (en) Mason Locke Weems dit Parson Weems, né le 11 octobre 1759 dans le comté d'Anne Arundel, dans l'État du Maryland et mort le 23 mai 1825 à Beaufort, en Caroline du Sud, était un imprimeur et auteur américain. Il est connu pour ses histoires mettant en scène George Washington, dont la plus célèbre est l'épisode du cerisier, lequel présente le président des États-Unis comme incapable de mensonge. Ces récits inventés paraissent dans The Life of Washington (1800) et participent au mythe de Washington. Weems a par la suite écrit d'autres livres sur plusieurs personnalités de l'histoire de l'Amérique comme Life of general Francis Marion (1805), Life of Benjamin Franklin, with Essays (1817) et Life of William Penn (1819).
