Marion Frederick Hawthorne (August 24, 1928 to July 8, 2021) was an American inorganic chemist born in Fort Scott, Kansas, who earned his doctorate at UCLA under Donald J. Cram and went on to teach there and at the University of Missouri. He built his career on the chemistry of boron hydrides, especially their cluster compounds known as boranes and carboranes, work that opened new routes to materials and to boron based cancer therapies. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and received the Priestley Medal in 2009 and the National Medal of Science in 2011 in recognition of this work.
