Cyril George Hopkins (1866 to 1919) was an American agricultural chemist who initiated the Illinois long-term selection experiment in 1896 and was noted for his extensive research and writings on the soils of Illinois. Born on a farm near Chatfield, Minnesota, he graduated from South Dakota Agricultural College in 1890 and took his master's degree in 1894 and his doctorate in 1898, both at Cornell University.
