Donald Maurice Ginsberg (November 19 1933–May 7 2007) was an American physicist and expert on superconductors.

Born in Chicago, Ginsberg attended University of Chicago, earning a bachelor of arts in 1952, a bachelor of science in 1955, and a master of science in 1956. He then earned his doctorate in physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1960. He taught at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 1959 to 1996.

Ginsberg is noted for growing purified metallic crystalline compounds called YBCO. His five-volume Physical Properties of High Temperature Superconductors was influential in the field.

He died of melanoma at his home in Urbana, Illinois.^[1]
