Donald James Cram (22 April 1919 – 17 Jun 2001) ialah seorang ahli kimia Amerika yang berkongsi Nobel dalam Kimia 1987 bersama Jean-Marie Lehn dan Charles J. Pedersen "untuk pembangunan dan penggunaan molekul mereka dengan interaksi khusus struktur selektif tinggi." Mereka adalah pengasas bidang kimia hos-tamu.

Kerjaya

Dari 1942-1945, Cram bekerja di penyelidikan kimia di makmal Merck & Co., melakukan penyelidikan penisilin dengan mentor Max Tishler. Kerja pasca kedoktoran adalah sebagai pegawai pasca kedoktoran Persatuan Kimia Amerika Syarikat di Institut Teknologi Massachusetts, bersama John D. Roberts. Cram adalah penggubal hukum Cram, yang memberikan model untuk meramalkan hasil serangan sebatian karbonil nukleofilik. Beliau menerbitkan lebih daripada 350 kertas penyelidikan dan lapan buku mengenai kimia organik, dan mengajar pelajar siswazah dan pascasiswazah dari 21 negara yang berbeza.
