Peter Brian Medawar (Petrópolis, 28 de fevereiro de 1915 - Londres, 2 de outubro de 1987) foi um biólogo britânico, nascido no Brasil. Recebeu o Prêmio Nobel de Medicina de 1960 com o australiano Frank Burnet por "suas pesquisas sobre tolerância imunológica adquirida".
    - "We cannot point to a single definitive solution of any one of the problems that confront us — political, economic, social or moral, that is, having to do with the conduct of life. We are still beginners, and for that reason may hope to improve. To deride the hope of progress is the ultimate fatuity, the last word in poverty of spirit and meanness of mind. There is no need to be dismayed by the fact that we cannot yet envisage a definitive solution of our problems, a resting-place beyond which we need not try to go."
