Geoffrey Burnstock (born 10 May 1929) is Emeritus Professor and President of the Autonomic Neuroscience Centre of the UCL Medical School. He was educated at King's College London (BSc) and at University College London (PhD). He played a key role in the discovery of ATP as neurotransmitter.[1] In 2000, he was awarded a Royal Medal from the Royal Society.

His lasting work with ATP-related signalling since 1970's, and surge of interest in the field, made him the most cited scientist in pharmacology and toxicology for several years during the 2000's.
