Percy Williams Bridgman (Cambridge, 21 aprile 1882 – Randolph, 20 agosto 1961) è stato un fisico e filosofo della scienza statunitense. Vinse il Premio Nobel per la fisica nel 1946 «per l'invenzione di un apparecchio per la produzione di pressioni estremamente alte e per le scoperte fatte nel campo della fisica ad alta pressione.» Fu inoltre un pioniere dell'analisi dimensionale.
