Sir John Warcup Cornforth, Jr.1 AC, CBE, FRS (Sydney, 7 de setembro de 1917) é um químico australiano, surdo desde a adolescência, devido a otosclerose.
Entrou no campo da química orgânica na Universidade de Sydney, onde conheceu sua esposa Rita. Juntos mudaram-se para Oxford, onde influenciaram profundamente no estudo da penicilina durante a guerra. Recebeu o Nobel de Química de 1975, juntamente com Vladimir Prelog, por seu trabalho na estereoquímica das reações de catálise das enzimas. Foi nomeado cavaleiro em 1977.
Cornforth é membro da Royal Society e segue ativamente na pesquisa química na Universidade de Sussex. Em 1975 foi condecorado com o prêmio Australiano do Ano.
