'''Antoine Alexandre Brutus Bussy''' ([[May 29]], [[1794]], [[Marseille]] - [[February 1]], [[1882]], [[Paris]]) was a [[France|French]] [[chemist]] who primarily studied pharmaceuticals.
In [[1831]] he published the 'Mémoire sur le Radical métallique de la Magnésie' where he described a method of preparing [[magnesium]] by heating [[magnesium chloride]] and [[potassium]] in a glass tube. When the [[potassium chloride]] was washed out, small globules of magnesium remained.
Bussy and [[Friedrich Woehler|Friedrich Wöhler]] are each credited with independently isolating the element [[beryllium]] in August [[1828]] by reacting [[potassium]] and [[beryllium chloride]].
