Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson,, was a New Zealand physicist who was a pioneering researcher in both atomic and nuclear physics. He has been described as "the father of nuclear physics", and "the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday".

He was the first Oceanian Nobel laureate, and the first to perform the awarded work in Canada.
