Andrzej Sołtan (25 October 1897 – 10 December 1959) was a Polish nuclear physicist.
During his visit to Caltech in 1932–33, together with H. Richard Crane and Charles Christian Lauritsen, he discovered a method for producing neutron beams, by bombarding lithium or beryllium nuclei with accelerated deuterons.
[1][2] He was appointed professor at Warsaw University in 1947, a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1952, and in 1955 he became the first director of the Institute of Nuclear Studies [pl] in Świerk, Otwock County near Warsaw, now known as the National Centre for Nuclear Research.
He is buried (with his wife Marta, also a physicist) in the "Avenue of the Meritorious" of Warsaw's Powązki Cemetery.
