Manfred Eigen, född 9 maj 1927 i Bochum i Nordrhein-Westfalen, död 6 februari 2019 i Göttingen i Niedersachsen, var en tysk biofysiker och kemist som fick 1967 års Nobelpris i kemi för sitt arbete med att mäta snabba kemiska reaktioner. Han delade priset med engelsmännen Ronald George Wreyford Norrish och George Porter. Eigen utarbetade metoder för att följa utomordentligt snabba kemiska reaktionsförlopp såsom neutralisation av syra med bas, en reaktion som är över inom loppet av en hundratusendels sekund. Eigen var ledare för i Göttingen, hedersdoktor vid Technische Universität Braunschweig och ordförande för 1982-1993.
