(19 oct. 1910, Lahore, India–21 ago. 1995, Chicago, Ill., EE.UU.).
Astrofísico estadounidense nacido en India. Dejó la Universidad de Cambridge para integrarse al grupo de investigadores de la Universidad de Chicago en 1938. Determinó que, después de su etapa de gigante roja, una estrella cuya masa remanente es mayor que 1,4 veces la del Sol (el límite de Chandrasekhar) colapsa y se transforma en una estrella de neutrones durante una explosión de
supernova. Los remanentes estelares mayores que unas tres masas solares colapsan aún más, para transformarse en agujeros negros. Compartió el Premio Nobel de 1983 con William A. Fowler.
