John Mordecai Gottman (born April 26, 1942) is a professor emeritus in psychology.  He is known for his work on marital stability and relationship analysis through scientific direct observations, many of which were published in peer-reviewed literature.

His work has also had a major impact on the development of important concepts on social sequence analysis.  Gottman is a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Washington.  With his wife, Julie Schwartz, Gottman heads a non-profit research institute (The Relationship Research Institute) and a for-profit therapist training entity (The Gottman Institute).
