Gerald C. MacCallum, Jr. (June 16, 1925 – January 14, 1987) was an American philosopher. He was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
MacCallum is well known for his critique to the distinction, made famous by Isaiah Berlin, between negative and positive liberty, proposing instead that the concept of freedom only can be understood as a 'triadic relation', in which "x is (is not) free from y to do (not do, become, not become) z".
