John S. Waugh (born 1929) is an American nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). He has also used systems of a few coupled spins to illustrate the general requirements for equilibrium and ergodicity in isolated systems.

In 1974 Waugh was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), in the Chemistry section.[1]

Waugh was awarded the Harden M. McConnell.[2]

According to the citation accompanying the prize, the committee selected Waugh "for his fundamental theoretical and experimental contributions to high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solids."[2]
