J. Scott Turner (born 11 August 1951) is an American physiologist who has contributed to the theory of collective intelligence through his fieldwork on the South African species of termite ''Macrotermes michaelseni'', suggesting the architectural complexity and sophistication of their mounds as an instance of his theory of the extended organism or superorganism. His theory was reviewed in a range of journals, including ''Perspectives in Biology and Medicine'', the ''New York Times Book Review'', ''EMBO Reports'', and ''American Scientist''.
