约翰·伯顿·桑德森·霍尔丹 FRS（，；通常被称做霍尔丹、霍爾丹，在他的著作中有时也使用；姓或譯作荷頓）， 出生于大不列颠， 是一名遗传学家和进化生物学家。霍尔丹是一名坚定的马克思主义者， 由于对大不列颠政府对于苏伊士运河危机的政策感到不满，离开牛津大学去往印度并成为一名印度公民。霍尔丹同羅納德·費雪和休厄爾·賴特一起被认为是种群遗传学的奠基人。

J.B.S.霍爾丹在1929年發表的一篇關於「生命起源」的文章中提出了「有機物可由無機物形成」的假說，而這個假說已於1924年由俄羅斯科學家亚历山大·伊万诺维奇·奥巴林提出。由於兩人是分別提出相同的假說，並不互相知情，因此後人稱此假說為「歐帕林—霍爾丹假說」。

获奖
1952年, 霍尔丹获得了英国皇家学会達爾文獎章。1956年，他获得英国皇家人类学研究所授予赫胥黎（Huxley）纪念奖章。在其他的荣誉中，他还获得了Feltrinelli 奖，科学名誉博士学位，新学院荣誉院士和美国科学院授予的 Kimber 奖。1958年，他被伦敦林奈学会授予达尔文-华莱士奖章。
