Allen Joseph Bard (born December 18, 1933 in New York City ) is an American chemist who mainly deals with electrochemistry .

Bard attended the Bronx High School of Science from 1948 to 1951 , studied at City College of New York ( bachelor's degree in 1955) and Harvard University , where he made his master's degree in 1956 and received his doctorate in 1958 . From 1958 he was at the University of Texas at Austin , where he remained as a professor for the rest of his career. Since 1985 he was Hackerman-Welch-Regents Professor there . In 1973 he was a visiting scientist in Paris in the laboratory of Jean-Michel Savéant and in 1977 at Caltech and in 1988 visiting professor at Harvard. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1982, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1990, and the American Philosophical Society in 1999.

Bard developed the Scanning Electrochemical Microscope , which provides chemical images of surfaces and has applications in chemical nanotechnology and medicine, such as images of the transport routes of chemicals on the surface of the skin, detection of cancer cells or lithographic pattern formation on surfaces.

He supervised 70 doctoral students and published over 800 scientific articles (2010). He also holds 23 patents.

From 1982 to 2001 he was editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society . In 2002 he received the Priestley Medal , in 2007 the Heinz Gerischer Award and in 2008 the Wolf Prize in Chemistry. For 2011 he was awarded the National Medal of Science , for 2013 the Enrico Fermi Prize and for 2019 the International König Faisal Prize in Chemistry. In 2014 he received the Torbern Bergman Medal from the Swedish Chemical Society . Together with Martin Stratmann, Bard is also the editor of an eleven-volume Encyclopedia of Electrochemistry , which was published by Wiley-VCH.
