Aaron Vail (1796  – 1878) was an American ambassador. As a chargé d'affaires, he acted as the chief American officer in London in lieu of an United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom between April 4, 1832 and 1836; between the presidencies of Martin Van Buren and Andrew Stevenson. He then became a Special Diplomatic Agent to Canada in 1838. On May 20, 1840, Vail then performed the same function as chargé d'affaires in Spain, being succeeded by Washington Irving on August 1, 1842. Born in New York, he died in Paris, France and was survived by his son, Aaron Vail II.

In the Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an, Aaron ( /ˈærən/ or /ˈɛərən/;Hebrew: אַהֲרֹן‎ Ahărōn, Arabic: هارون‎ Hārūn, Greek (Septuagint): Ααρών ), who is often called "'Aaron the Priest"' (אֵהֲרֹן הֵכֹּהֵן) and once Aaron the Levite (אַהֲרֹן הַלֵּוִי) (Exodus 4:14), was the older brother of Moses, (Exodus 6:16-20, 7:7; Qur'an 28:34) and a prophet of God. He represented the priestly functions of his tribe, becoming the first High Priest of the Israelites. While Moses was receiving his education at the Egyptian royal court, and during his exile among the Midianites, Aaron and his sister Miriam remained with their kinsmen in the eastern border-land of Egypt (Goshen). There, Aaron gained a name for eloquent and persuasive speech, so that when the time came for the demand upon the Pharaoh to release Israel from captivity, Aaron became his brother’s nabi, or spokesman, to his own people (Exodus 7:1) and, after their unwillingness to hear, to the Pharaoh himself (Exodus 7:9). Various dates for his life have been proposed, ranging from approximately 1600 to 1200 BC.
