Sir Ian Wilmut OBE FRS FMedSci FRSE[2][1][8] (7 July 1944 – 10 September 2023) was a British embryologist and the chair of the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine[9] at the University of Edinburgh.[10] He is best known as the leader of the research group that in 1996 first cloned a mammal from an adult somatic cell, a Finnish Dorset lamb named Dolly.[11][12]

Wilmut was appointed OBE in 1999 for services to embryo development[13] and knighted in the 2008 New Year Honours.[14] He, Keith Campbell and Shinya Yamanaka jointly received the 2008 Shaw Prize for Medicine and Life Sciences for their work on cell differentiation in mammals.[7]
