David John Candlin (1928 in Croydon, Surrey[1] – 4 December 2019[2]) was an English physicist. He was known for developing the path integral formulation of the Fermionic field, inventing Grassmann integration for this purpose.[3] He received his PhD from Cambridge University in 1955, and wrote his influential paper on Grassmann integration shortly thereafter. He was later appointed a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh[4] and retired from this post in 1995.[5] He was at one time involved in collaborative work related to CERN.[6][7][8][9]

In 1955 he married Rosemary Shaw, crystallographer and later computer scientist.[10]
