Francis Gotch (13 July 1853 – 15 July 1913) was a British neurophysiologist who was professor of physiology at University College Liverpool and Oxford University. He was educated at Amersham Hall School and then at London University graduating B.A. in 1873 and then B.Sc. After studying medicine he qualified M.R.C.S. in 1881. In 1899 he described the "inexcitable" or "refractory phase" that takes place between nerve impulses. He also performed significant research in the field of electroretinography. His body was interred at Wolvercote Cemetery.

| - Francis Gotch (* 1853 in Liverpool; † 1913) war ein britischer Neurophysiologe. Er wurde als einziges Kind eines Pfarrers in Liverpool geboren und besuchte die Amersham Hall School und anschließend das University College London, wo er 1873 seinen Bachelor of Arts und nach einem Wechsel an die naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät zwei Jahre später den Bachelor of Science erhielt. Nach einem erneuten Wechsel an die medizinische Fakultät erhielt er 1881 die Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS). Als Assistent von John Scott Burdon-Sanderson arbeitete er an physiologischen Fragestellungen, besonders im Bereich der Muskulatur und des Nervensystems. Unter anderem untersuchte er die elektrischen Organe des Marmor-Zitterrochens (Torpedo marmorata). 1887 heiratet er die Schwester von Victor Horsley, mit der er einen Sohn und drei Töchter bekam. 1891 wurde er Professor für Physiologie an der University of Liverpool. 1892 wurde er zum Fellow of the Royal Society gewählt. 1895 übernahm er von Burdon-Sanderson dessen Professur für Physiologie an der Oxford University, wo er weiter an der Physiologie erregbarer Organe forschte, insbesondere an Nerven, Muskeln und der Netzhaut. Hier erhielt er 1896 den Magister und 1901 den Doktortitel. Ehrendoktortitel erhielt er 1907 von der University of Liverpool und 1911 von der University of St Andrews. (de)
- Francis Gotch (13 July 1853 – 15 July 1913) was a British neurophysiologist who was professor of physiology at University College Liverpool and Oxford University. He was educated at Amersham Hall School and then at London University graduating B.A. in 1873 and then B.Sc. After studying medicine he qualified M.R.C.S. in 1881. He made several pioneer contributions to British neurophysiology. With his brother-in-law, Victor Horsley (1857–1916), he performed research involving localization of brain function via electrical stimulation of the cortex, and also demonstrated that the mammalian brain was capable of producing electric current. In 1899 he described the "inexcitable" or "refractory phase" that takes place between nerve impulses. He also performed significant research in the field of electroretinography. In 1891, with Horsley, he delivered the Croonian Lecture before the Royal Society of London, entitled "On The Mammalian Nervous System: Its Functions, And Their Localization Determined By An Electrical Method". In June 1892 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society His body was interred at Wolvercote Cemetery. (en)
