Sir John Douglas Cockcroft foi um físico britânico que dividiu o Nobel de Física de 1951 com o físico irlandês Ernest T.S. Walton pelo pioneirismo no uso de aceleradores de partículas no estudo e transmutação de núcleos atômicos através de partículas aceleradas artificialmente.
Cockcroft, who was both a student and Fellow at St John’s, is perhaps best known for the pioneering 1932 experiment in which he and his fellow researcher, Ernest Walton, transformed the nucleus of a lithium atom by bombarding it with high-energy particles.
