Maurice Wilkins

**Moris Hju Frederik Vilkins** (; Novi Zeland, 15. decembar 1916 – 5. oktobar 2004.) je bio engleski fizičar i molekularni biolog. Njegova istraživanja su doprinela naučnom razumevanju fosforescencije, izotopne separacije, optičke mikroskopije i difrakcije X-zraka, kao i razvoju radara. On je najbolje poznat po radu na Kings koledžu u Londonu na strukturi DNK. Kao znak priznanja za njegov rad, on je zajedno sa, Fransisom Krikom i Džejmsom Votsonom nagrađen Nobelovom nagradom za fiziologiju ili medicinu 1962. „za njihova otkrića molekulske strukture nukleinskih kiselina.“
