Morton B. Panish (born April 8, 1929 in New York City ) is an American chemist and physicist who specializes in semiconductor lasers .
Panish studied at the University of Denver with a bachelor's degree in 1950 and Michigan State University with a doctorate in physical chemistry in 1954.

From 1969 to his retirement in 1992 he was at Bell Laboratories , from 1969 to 1986 as a department head and from 1969 as a Distinguished Member of the Technical Staff.
Together with Izuo Hayashi at Bell Laboratories in 1970, he was part of the team that, independently of a Russian group at the Joffe Institute ( Shores Iwanowitsch Alfjorow ), who reached their goal a little earlier, made the first practical semiconductor lasers (continuous operation at room temperature) work .
Prices
- 1979 Solid State Science Award
- 1986 C&C Prize with Hayashi
- 1991 Morris Liebmann Award from the IEEE
- 1994 John Bardeen Award, The Minerals, Metals and Material Society
