John Dow Fisher Gilchrist (1866-1926) was a Scottish-born South African ichthyologist. He was born in Anstruther, Fife, Scotland, and died at Saint James, Cape Town, South Africa. He obtained a Ph.D. at Jena University, Germany in 1894, and later held the post of Professor and Director of Fisheries and Marine Biological Survey of South Africa, in Cape Town. He is the recognised authority for many genera and species of fish, such as ''Paralichthodes algoensis'', the peppered flounder.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paralichthodes algoensis Gilchrist, 1902 )〕 His standard abbreviation under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is Gilchrist.
