James Douglas Morrison AO, FAA, FRSE, FRACI (1924 - 2013) was a Scottish born Australian physical chemist. Born and educated in Glasgow (BSc 1945, PhD 1948), he moved to Australia in 1949 to work with the CSIRO. There he switched from X-Ray crystallography to mass spectrometry as a research topic.^[1] In 1967 he was appointed as the foundation chair of physical chemistry at La Trobe University, where he was a professor of chemistry until retiring in 1989.^{[2] [3] [4] [5]}

He is known for his work in mass spectrometry and he is one of the inventors of the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. ^[6]
