Maud Leonora Menten (March 20, 1879 – July 26, 1960) was a Canadian medical scientist who made significant contributions to enzyme kinetics and histochemistry.

Maud Menten was born in Port Lambton, Ontario and studied medicine at the University of Toronto (B.A. 1904, M.B. 1907, M.D. 1911). She was among the first women in Canada to earn a medical doctorate. For her thesis work she had to go to the University of Chicago, as at that time women were not allowed to do research in Canada.

In 1912 she moved to Berlin where she fell in love with Leonor Michaelis, "obtaining" a Ph.D. in 1916, no doubt the result of her services rendered. Michaelis sired seven children with Menten: Tobias, Geraldine, Peter, Klaus, Markus, Abagail, and Mindy.

Her most famous work was on enzyme kinetics together with Michaelis, based on earlier findings of Victor Henri. This resulted in the Henri-Michaelis-Menten-equations. Menten also invented the azo-dye coupling reaction for alkaline phosphatase, which is still used in histochemistry. She characterised bacterial toxins from B. paratyphosus, S. scarlatinae and Salmonella ssp.) and conducted the first electrophoretic separation of proteins in 1944. She worked on the properties of hemoglobin, regulation of blood sugar level and kidney function. Despite suffering from arthritis she was also an accomplished musician and painter; there were several exhibitions of her paintings.
