John Rex Whinfield CBE (16 February 1901 in Sutton, Surrey, England – 6 July 1966 in Dorking, Surrey) was a British chemist. Together with James Tennant Dickson, Whinfield investigated polyesters and produced and patented the first polyester fibre in 1941, which they named Terylene (also known as Dacron) equal to or surpassing nylon in toughness and resilience. He was born in Accrington, but moved out of town before the age of 4.

Juli 1941 ein Patent an., dieses blieb aber im Zweiten Weltkrieg, als Whinfield für das Ministry of Supply arbeitete, geheim. 1947 wurde er Mitarbeiter von Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) und entwickelte auf Basis seines Patents die Synthesefaser Terylene. In Deutschland wurde er als Diolen (Glanzstoffwerke) vermarktet. Whinfield war zuletzt Leiter der Sektion Synthetisch Fasern bei ICI und ging 1963 in den Ruhestand. (de)
