Lyman Page (Lyman Alexander Page Jr., * September 24, 1957) is the Henry DeWolf Smyth Professor of Physics at Princeton University. He is an expert in observational cosmology and one of the original co-investigators for the WMAP probe that, over the past years, has made the most precise observations yet of the cosmic background radiation, an electromagnetic echo of the Universe's big bang phase.

Page obtained his B.A. from Bowdoin College, Brunswick in 1978, going on to obtain his doctorate in 1989 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge.
