Burrill Bernard Crohn (June 13, 1884 – July 29, 1983) was an American gastroenterologist who made the first major advance to identify Crohn's disease, which bears his name. Although the description of Crohn's disease is his most famous accomplishment, Crohn had a long career as a clinician and a researcher who contributed to modern understanding of many gastrointestinal conditions.
