Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin OM, geborene Dorothy Mary Crowfoot, war eine britische Biochemikerin. Für ihre Analyse der Struktur des Vitamins B12 erhielt sie 1964 den Nobelpreis für Chemie. 1987 wurde sie mit dem Internationalen Lenin-Friedenspreis ausgezeichnet.
Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin OM FRS HonFRSC [9] [10] (née Crowfoot; 12 May 1910 – 29 July 1994) was a Nobel Prize-winning English chemist who advanced the technique of X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of biomolecules, which became essential for structural biology.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1964 was awarded to Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin "for her determinations by X-ray techniques of the structures of important biochemical substances"
“Captured for life by chemistry and by crystals,” as she described it, Dorothy Hodgkin turned a childhood interest in crystals into the ground-breaking use of X-ray crystallography to “see” the molecules of penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin.
Dorothy Hodgkin (born May 12, 1910, Cairo, Egypt—died July 29, 1994, Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, England) was an English chemist whose determination of the structure of penicillin and vitamin B 12 brought her the 1964 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin. Using X-ray crystallography, Hodgkin determined the structures of penicillin, insulin, and vitamin B12 and was the third woman ever to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
A British woman scientist last won a Nobel prize 55 years ago, in 1964: her name was Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, and she won the prize for chemistry. Before her, only two women had won the Chemistry prize: Marie Curie in 1911, and her daughter Irène Joliot-Curie in 1935.
Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin is the only British woman to have received the Nobel Prize for science. She was awarded the prize for Chemistry in 1964, in recognition of her work of establishing the structures of vitamin B12 and penicillin.
