Hideyo Noguchi (野口 英世, Noguchi Hideyo; November 9, 1876 – May 21, 1928), also known as Seisaku Noguchi (野口 清作, Noguchi Seisaku), was a Japanese bacteriologist at the Rockefeller Institute during its foundation under Simon Flexner and known for his work on syphilis and contributing to the long term understanding of neurosyphilis.

During the emergence of the field of serology, he began as a research assistant to American physician Silas Weir Mitchell in his studies on snake venom at the University of Pennsylvania in 1901. Mitchell and Noguchi presented the results before National Academy of Science.
