Gordon Hindle Rawcliffe FRS (2 June 1910 – 3 September 1979) was a British electrical engineer and academic.
After his first-year examinations, he switched to engineering, under Richard V. Southwell, and obtained a first-class degree in 1932.
In 1944, the University of Bristol appointed him Professor of Electrical Engineering, a post that he held for the next 31 years.
After retiring in 1975, he died in Bristol of a heart attack on 3 September 1979, brought on by the asthma that affected his health throughout his life.
He developed the principle of pole amplitude modulation, enabling induction motors to run at different speeds; with his fellow-researchers, he filed more than 60 patents and wrote many scientific papers.
