Medalha Murchison

A Medalha Murchison é uma recompensa científica anual concedida pela Sociedade Geológica de Londres no domínio da geologia, com o mesmo prestígio da Medalha Lyell.

Foi nomeada em homenagem ao geólogo britânico Sir Roderick Murchison (1792-1871) que, no final da vida, criou a cadeira de geologia e mineralogia na Universidade de Edimburgo e estabeleceu um fundo para o Conselho da Sociedade.

A primeira medalha Murchison foi concedida em 1873.
