Nathan Wesley Everest (December 29, 1890 – November 11, 1919) was an American member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and a World War I era veteran. He was lynched during the Centralia Tragedy after killing Dale Hubbard in what the union called self-defense, though the American Legion called it murder. His burial plot, the Wesley Everest Gravesite, has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1991.
