Léon Rosenfeld (14 August 1904 – 23 March 1974[1]) was a Belgian physicist. He obtained a PhD at the University of Liege in 1926, and he was a collaborator of the physicist Niels Bohr. He did early work in quantum electrodynamics that predates by two decades the work by Dirac and Bergmann[2]. He coined the name lepton[3]. In 1949 Léon Rosenfeld was awarded the Francqui Prize for Exact Sciences.
