Lawrence Paul Garrod (1 December 1895 - 11 September 1979), was a British bacteriologist who studied uses of penicillin. In 1929, he was a reader in the University of London and became professor of bacteriology in 1934, a post that he held until his retirement in 1961. He was a member of committees of the Department of Health, the Medical Research Council and World Health Organization.[1][2]

The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy awards the Garrod Lecture and Medal in his name.[3]
