Sin-Itiro Tomonaga est un physicien théoricien japonais. Il fut l'un des créateurs de l'électrodynamique quantique. Il est colauréat avec Julian Schwinger et Richard Feynman du prix Nobel de physique de 1965 « pour leurs travaux fondamentaux en électrodynamique quantique, ce qui a amené de profondes conséquences à la physique des particules élémentaires ».
