David W. Krogmann (1934 – January 22, 2016) was an American biologist and a professor of biochemistry at Purdue University. He is known for his work in photosynthesis in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.[1]

He discovered the Orange Carotenoid Protein of cyanobacteria in 1981 and helped solve its crystal structure.[2][3]
