Sir Adolf William Asscher (1930 – 20 July 2014) was a Dutch-born British consultant nephrologist.
His family was of Jewish heritage; they were thus deported to Westerbork transit camp, from where his mother secured their release in 1943 by fabricating claims to be of English descent, helped in part by her son's blond hair.
