Jack Steinberger (born May 25, 1921) is a German-American physicist. He co-discovered the muon neutrino. He won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1988.

Steinberger was born in the city of Bad Kissingen in Bavaria, Germany, but left at the age of 13, due to the increasing anti-Semitism of the rising Nazi party. He moved to the United States, where he lived for many years, before moving to Switzerland to work at CERN. He gave his Nobel medal to New Trier High School of which he is an alumnus.
