Michael Faraday, född 22 september 1791 i , Southwark, London, död 25 augusti 1867 i Hampton, Richmond, London, var en brittisk fysiker och kemist, som kom med viktiga bidrag inom elektromagnetism och elektrokemi. Han uppfann den tidigaste formen av det som kom att bli bunsenbrännaren, som används i vetenskapliga laboratorier i stort sett hela världen, som en källa för att snabbt få fram värme. Faraday är en av historiens största vetenskapsmän, och det var mycket tack vare honom som elektricitet blev möjligt att använda inom teknologi. SI-enheten för kapacitans, farad, har fått sitt namn efter honom.
