Harry Steenbock.

Harry Steenbock (* 16. August 1886 in Charlestown, Wisconsin; † 25. Dezember 1967 in Madison, Wisconsin) war ein US-amerikanischer Biochemiker.

Steenbock war ab 1920 Professor an der University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Er forschte über fettlösliche Vitamine, insbesondere über die Vitamine A und D. 1919 entdeckte er den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Carotin-Gehalt von Lebensmitteln und deren biologischer Wirkung. Steenbock fand 1924 heraus, dass sich der Vitamin-D-Gehalt von Lebensmitteln durch Bestrahlung mit UV-Licht (durch Umwandlung der Provitamine) erhöht.
