Mervyn Henry Gordon (22 June 1872 – 26 July 1953) was a British medical microbiologist and immunologist who researched bacteria and viruses associated with human disease, most notably Streptococcus (scarlet fever), Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis), mumps virus and poxviruses including variola virus (smallpox). He also studied airborne transmission of respiratory organisms. Apart from the First World War, he spent his entire career at the pathology department of St Bartholomew's Hospital, London (1898–1937). He was appointed CMG (1917), received the CBE (1919), and was an elected fellow of the Royal Society (1924). His obituary in The Times describes him as "one of the leading bacteriologists of his generation".
