Stanley Corrsin (3 April 1920 – 2 June 1986) was an American physicist, fluid dynamicist, and Theophilus Halley Smoot Professor of Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University.

He entered the California Institute of Technology for his graduate studies and worked in the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory under Theodore von Kármán.

Corrsin joined the department of aeronautics at Johns Hopkins University in 1947 as an assistant professor.

The citation reads: "In recognition of his contributions to the understanding of turbulent transport, through ingenious experiment and physical insight; his unique experimental approach and critical view of fluid mechanics have touched a legion of students and associates.

[5] In addition, in 2011, in order "to recognize and encourage a particularly influential contribution to fundamental fluid dynamics", the American Physical Society established the Stanley Corrsin Award.
