Richard Makinson (5 May 1913 – 15 January 1979) was an important Australian physicist and communist activist known for his significant contributions to solid-state physics and amorphous semiconductors. He graduated with honors from the University of Sydney and later earned a PhD at the University of Cambridge. Makinson's research on thermal conductivity in crystals earned him citations in key physics texts. His political beliefs led to difficulties in securing teaching roles during the Cold War, but he eventually helped develop the physics program at Macquarie University after joining in 1968.
