Har Gobind Khorana (* wahrscheinlich 9. Januar 1922 in Raipur, Punjab (im heute pakistanischen Teil); † 9. November 2011 in Concord, Massachusetts) war ein indisch-US-amerikanischer Biochemiker und Molekularbiologe. 1968 wurde er mit dem Nobelpreis für Physiologie oder Medizin ausgezeichnet. Khorana gelang 1970 als erstem die künstliche Synthese eines Gens. Er lieferte wesentliche Arbeiten für die Entzifferung des genetischen Codes. Marshall Warren Nirenberg und Heinrich Matthaei hatten durch das grundlegende Poly-U-Experiment hierfür den Ausgangspunkt gelegt.
