Cecil Edmund Yarwood (1908 to 1981) was an American-Canadian plant pathologist whose work focused on obligate parasites of plants, viruses and the conditions that predisposed plants to infection, and he is considered an authority on rust fungi and powdery mildew. He grew up on the Canadian-American border near Sumas, Washington, which gave him dual citizenship, and spent much of his youth managing the family farm. He took a degree in agriculture at the University of British Columbia in 1929, an MS in plant pathology at Purdue University in 1931 and a PhD at the University of Wisconsin in 1934 with a thesis on the diurnal cycle of the powdery mildew Erysiphe polygoni. He spent his entire career at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1934 to 1975, served on the editorial boards of Phytopathology and Virology and was president of the Pacific Division of the American Phytopathological Society in 1946.
