Karl Barry Sharpless (born April 28, 1941) is an American stereochemist and two-time Nobel laureate in chemistry, known for his work on stereoselective reactions and click chemistry. He was awarded half of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on chirally catalysed oxidation reactions, and one third of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, jointly with Carolyn Bertozzi and Morten Meldal, for the development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.
