The Wolfson Foundation is a registered charity based in London, England. It was established in 1955 and aims to support the arts, education, health, humanities, research, science and technology. The foundation was established by and named after Sir Isaac Wolfson, Chairman of Great Universal Stores (GUS). Lord Wolfson was a founder trustee.

The Foundation gave financial support to establish both Wolfson College, Oxford and Wolfson College, Cambridge in the 1960s as well as the Wolfson Research Institute, at Durham University's Queen's Campus in Stockton-on-Tees, which opened in 2001. In addition, Wolfson laboratories and units are present at a wide number of universities.
