Si **Sir Karl Raimund Popper** CH FRS FBA (Hulyo 28, 1902 – Setyembre 17, 1994) iyo an Austrian-British pilosopo, akademiko asin social commentator. One of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science, Bantog si Popper huli sa saiyang pagreject sa klasikong inductivist na panànaw sa scientific method na pabor siya sa empirical falsification. Segun ki Popper, an teorya sa empirical sciences dai nanggad mapapatunayan, alagad pwede iyan na ma-falsify, boot sabihon na pwede iyan na (asin dapat na) be scrutinised na may decisive experiments. Kontra si Popper sa klasikong justificationist account kan kaaraman, na rinibayan niya nin critical rationalism, nginaran na "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy".
