【J. B. S. 霍尔丹】
约翰·伯顿·桑德森·霍尔丹 FRS（John Burdon Sanderson Haldane，12月1日；通常被称做J.B.S.霍尔丹、霍尔丹，在他的著作中有时也使用J.B.S.；姓或译作荷顿）， 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。霍尔丹同罗纳德·费雪和休厄尔·赖特一起被认为是种群遗传学的奠基人。
J.B.S.霍尔丹在1929年发表的一篇关于「生命起源」的文章中提出了「有机物可由无机物形成」的假说，而这个假说已于1924年由俄罗斯科学家亚历山大·伊万诺维奇·奥巴林提出。由于两人是分别提出相同的假说，并不互相知情，因此后人称此假说为「欧帕林—霍尔丹假说」。
