Pamela Soltis is an American botanist.
She is a distinguished professor at the University of Florida and principal investigator of the Laboratory of Molecular Systematics and Evolutionary Genetics at the Florida Museum of Natural History.
She received her Ph.D. from the University of Kansas in 1986. Dr. Soltis research interests are angiosperm phylogeny, phylogeography, polyploidy, and conservation genetics. Among her most cited contributions are papers on the role of genetic and genomic attributes in the success of polyploids. In 2016, Dr. Soltis was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Soltis was President of the Botanical Society of America 2007-08.

She has served on the Councils of the Society for the Study of Evolution, the American Society of Plant Taxonomists, the American Genetics Association, and the Society of Systematic Biologists. She served a three-year term as Secretary of the Botanical Society of America and is currently the President of the Society of Systematic Biologists. She also serves as an Associate Editor for the journals Evolution and Systematic Biology. She is a member of the University of Kansas Women's Hall of Fame. She was the winner of the 2002 Dahlgren Prize in Botany from the Royal Physiographic Society of Sweden. Reuters named her as a highly cited researcher in 2014. She won, along with her husband, Douglas Soltis, the 2006 Asa Gray Award. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2016.
