Christiaan Neethling Barnard (Beaufort West, província de Cabo Ocidental, região do Grande Karoo, distrito de Karoo Central, África do Sul, 8 de novembro de 1922 - Pafos, Chipre, 2 de setembro de 2001), foi um cirurgião cardíaco sul-africano que realizou a primeira operação de transplante de coração de pessoa para pessoa do mundo. Em 1967, Barnard transplantou o coração da vítima de acidente Denise Darvall no peito de Louis Washkansky, com Washkansky recuperando a consciência total e sendo capaz de falar facilmente com sua esposa, antes de morrer 18 dias depois de pneumonia, em grande parte causada pelas drogas anti-rejeição que suprimiam seu sistema imunológico. O segundo paciente de transplante de Barnard, Philip Blaiberg, cuja operação foi realizada no início de 1968, viveu por um ano e meio e pôde voltar para casa depois do hospital.
