Neal A. Melick was an engineer who worked for the United States federal government. Melick was the supervising engineer for many federal construction projects. He is credited with a number of buildings now listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, often in conjunction with Louis A. Simon serving as supervising architect.

During the World War II war-time rearrangements of public efforts under the Federal Works Agency (FWA), Melick was the superintendent of construction of U.S. public buildings.^[1]
