Sheldon Glashow is an American theoretical physicist. He shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics with Abdus Salam and Steven Weinberg "for their contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including, inter alia, the prediction of the weak neutral current". He is the Metcalf Professor of Mathematics and Physics at Boston University, and a Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics, emeritus, at Harvard University. Glashow is a member of the board of sponsors for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Shared the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics for the electroweak unification theory. Glashow and Weinberg were high school classmates, but Glashow's own article states Weinberg's research reaching the same result was independent of his, the explicit not-a-collaboration case.
