Lorne M. Trottier, OC (born 15 June 1948) is a Canadian engineer, businessman and philanthropist.

He has had a lifelong interest in science:
"When I was about 11 years old, a new friend introduced me to the world of electronics. I went to the library and started reading every introductory book I could find, not only on electronics, but also on science in general. That bug to understand what's going on, from the point of view of what science teaches us about nature, has stayed with me all my life."
