Guy R. McPherson (born 29 February 1960) is an American scientist, professor emeritus of natural resources and ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona. He is best known for promoting the idea of near term extinction (NTE), a term he coined about the possibility of human extinction as soon as 2030.

McPherson is also an author, independent scholar, lecturer, blogger, cultural critic, and permaculturist. He also is the co-host of his own radio show, "Nature Bats Last". He has taught for twenty years at the University of Arizona and has served as an expert witness for legal cases involving forest fires.
In May 2009, McPherson began transitioning to living on an off-grid homestead in southern New Mexico. McPherson authors a blog called "Nature Bats Last", that focuses on global climate change, energy decline and the possibility of imminent human extinction due to the increasing accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. On November 1, 2015, McPherson was interviewed on National Geographic Explorer with host Bill Nye.
Regarding his NTE views, Andrew Revkin in The New York Times said McPherson was a "apocalyptic ecologist ... who has built something of an 'End of Days' following". Michael Tobis, a climate scientist from the University of Wisconsin, said McPherson was out of his depth and "is not the opposite of a denialist. He is a denialist, albeit of a different stripe."
