John Albert Raven FRSFRSE (born 25 June 1941) is a British botanist, and emeritus professor at University of Dundee and the University of Technology Sydney. His primary research interests lie in the ecophysiology and biochemistry of marine and terrestrial primary producers such as plants and algae.
Raven was educated at the Friends' School, Saffron Walden and St John’s College, Cambridge, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in Botany in 1963. He remained at Cambridge to complete a PhD in Botany (plant biophysics) in 1967, specialising in the membrane transport processes and bioenergetics of giant-celled algae.
After a period as a lecturer at Cambridge, Raven moved to the University of Dundee in 1971, and he remained at Dundee until his formal retirement in 2008. He was appointed there to a personal chair in 1980, and was the John Boyd Baxter Professor of Biology from 1995 until 2008. In 1978, Raven was a co-founding editor of the influential peer reviewed scientific journal Plant, Cell & Environment with Paul Jarvis, David Jennings, Harry Smith and Bob Campbell.
