Sir John Cowdery Kendrew (Oxford, 24 marzo 1917 – Cambridge, 23 agosto 1997) è stato un biochimico e cristallografo inglese, vincitore, insieme a Max Perutz, del premio Nobel per la chimica nel 1962, per gli studi effettuati sulle strutture delle proteine globulari quali emoglobina e mioglobina tramite l'utilizzo di tecniche di diffrazione dei raggi X.^[1]
