Enid Anne Campbell MacRobbie, FRS FRSE (born 5 December 1931) is a Scottish plant scientist who is Emeritus Professor of Plant Biophysics at the University of Cambridge^[1] and a Life Fellow of Girton College.^[2] Her specialty is biophysics, with particular interests in ion fluxes and stomata.^[3]

Born on 5 December 1931, in Edinburgh,^[3] MacRobbie was appointed "to a Personal Professorship in 1987, the first woman scientist in Cambridge to be awarded a Personal Chair."^[3] She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1991 and of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1998.^[3] She is also a Foreign Member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists.^[3] Roger Spanswick was a member of her laboratory.
