Selman Abraham Waksman (ukrainisch Зельман Абрахам Ваксман, wiss. Transliteration Zel'man Abracham Vaksman; * 8. Julijul. / 20. Juli 1888greg. in , Gouvernement Kiew, Russisches Kaiserreich; † 16. August 1973 in Woods Hole, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, USA) war ein russisch-US-amerikanischer Biochemiker und Mikrobiologe. Waksman verwendete als erster die Bezeichnung Antibiotikum. Aus Bodenbakterien isolierte er 1940 das Antibiotikum und Zytostatikum Actinomycin A und 1943 das Antibiotikum Streptomycin. Für die Entdeckung des Streptomycins, des ersten Antibiotikums gegen die Tuberkulose, erhielt er 1952 den Nobelpreis für Physiologie oder Medizin. Tatsächlich wurde die Substanz 1943 von dem in seinem Labor arbeitenden Studenten, Albert Schatz (1920–2005), isoliert.
