Sir Clifford Copland Paterson FRS (1879–1948) was an English scientist and electrical engineer. He was educated at Mill Hill School, the Finsbury Technical College, and Faraday House. He joined the newly established National Physical Laboratory in 1903, specialising in light and lighting. He was awarded an OBE in 1916 for his work on the Paterson-Walsh aircraft height finder. The Royal Society Clifford Paterson Lecture and the Institute of Physics Clifford Paterson Medal and Prize are named in his honour.

| - Sir Clifford Copland Paterson (* 17. Oktober 1879 in Stoke Newington, London; † 1948) war ein englischer Elektrotechniker. Sein Vater war Gerber und Lederhändler. Er besuchte die Mill Hill School und lernte dann Elektrotechnik am Finsbury Technical College und am Faraday House. 1901 wurde er von Richard Glazebrook an die neu gegründete National Physical Laboratory berufen, wo er verantwortlich war für die Abteilung für Elektrotechnik und Photometrie. 1916 wurde er als Officer in den Order of the British Empire für seine Arbeit am Paterson-Walsh Höhenfinder aufgenommen. Im gleichen Jahr wurde er von der Osram-Lampenfabrik in Hammersmith (London) gebeten, ihnen eine Forschungsabteilung zu errichten. Diese waren von der deutschen Technologie abhängig. Während des Krieges hatte er jedoch nicht die Freiheit dazu. Fünf Tage später, nach dem Waffenstillstand wurde er von Hugo Hirst gebeten, Gründungsdirektor des General Electric Company-Forschungslabors in Hammersmith zu werden. 1922 zogen sie mit 22 Mitarbeitern nach Wembley um. 1928/29 war er Präsident der IES und 1930/31 Präsident der IEE. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs hatten sie über tausend Mitarbeiter, die an Suchscheinwerfern, Tarnung, Radio und Radar arbeiteten. 1942 wurde als Fellow in die Royal Society aufgenommen. 1946 wurde er für seine Verdienste zum Knight Bachelor geschlagen.

- Sir Clifford Copland Paterson FRS (1879–1948) was an English scientist and electrical engineer. He was educated at Mill Hill School, the Finsbury Technical College, and Faraday House. He joined the newly established National Physical Laboratory in 1903, specialising in light and lighting. He was awarded an OBE in 1916 for his work on the Paterson-Walsh aircraft height finder. In January 1916 Hugo Hirst, chairman and managing director of the General Electric Company, approached him with a view to him setting up a research department for the company's Osram lightbulb manufacturing division. He accepted a further invitation following the end of World War I, this time to establish a research facility to serve the whole of GEC. The laboratories came into existence at the start of 1919, initially housed at the Osram Lamp and Valve Works at Hammersmith. Planning for new purpose-built laboratories began almost immediately with a site being found at East Lane, Wembley, and the new buildings came into use in 1922. Paterson would remain as director of the laboratories – later named the Hirst Research Centre – until his death in 1948. Paterson was the recipient of several honours, including an Honorary Doctorate in Science from the University of Birmingham in 1937, the Faraday Medal in 1945, the James Alfred Ewing Medal in 1946 and the Gold Medal of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America in 1948; he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1942 and was knighted in 1946. The Royal Society Clifford Paterson Lecture and the Institute of Physics Clifford Paterson Medal and Prize are named in his honour. (en)
