Stanley Rossiter Benedict (17 March 1884 – 21 December 1936) was an American chemist best known for discovering Benedict's reagent, a solution that detects certain sugars.
Benedict was born in Cincinnati, and went to the University of Cincinnati. After a year, he went to Yale's Department of Physiological Chemistry for training in metabolism and physiology. He married Ruth Fulton. However, it collapsed and his wife began a career in anthropology as Ruth Benedict.
