【梅尔文·戈尔茨坦】
梅尔文·戈尔茨坦（Melvyn Goldstein，）是一名美国社会人类学家、藏学家，深入研究西藏社会、历史、现代政治、一夫多妻制等等。
出生于纽约市，先后从密歇根大学取得历史学学士和硕士，再从华盛顿大学取得人类学博士，其后长期担任凯斯西储大学人类学教授。
==争议==
戈尔茨坦被同行认为立场亲中，他的研究经常得到中国政府的协助，能够从中国政府方面拿到其它西方学者得不到的材料，在西方学界有「亲中」的名声。他是一个资料工作做得比较好的学者，即使不同意他的观点的人，也很重视他所收集的文献和实地调查资料。嘉央诺布指其著作抹黑西藏历史，并引用诺贝尔经济学奖得主阿马蒂亚·库马尔·森的话：「可疑的历史无法为可疑的政治辩护」。
==家庭==
他娶了西藏贵族噶伦索康·旺钦格勒的女儿。
