Dame Susan Jocelyn Bell Burnell, född 15 juli 1943 i Belfast i Nordirland, där hennes far var chefsarkitekt för , är en brittisk astrofysiker som upptäckte den första pulsaren, PSR B1919+21 (i stjärnbilden Räven). Det skedde i samband med att hon arbetade på sin avhandling under ledning av Antony Hewish, som tillsammans med kollegan Martin Ryle fick 1974 års Nobelpris för upptäckten. Det faktum att hon inte inkluderades i priset kritiserades skarpt av bland andra den kände astronomen Fred Hoyle, som själv hade bidragit till förståelsen av den första pulsaren.
