'''Douglas Montagu Temple Gairdner''', {{MA}}, DM{{MD}}, {{FRCP}} ({{LifeData|1910-11-19|1992-05-10}}) was a Scottish consultant paediatrician, research scientist, academic and author. Gairdner was principally known for a number of research studies in neonatology at a time when that subject was being developed as perhaps the most rewarding application of basic physiology to patient care, and later his most important contributions as editor, firstly editing ''Recent Advances in Paediatrics'' and then of ''Archives of Disease in Childhood'' for 15 years, turning the latter into an international journal of repute with its exemplary standards of content and presentation.<ref>{{REFjournal
