Herbert (Bert) Sydney Green (December 17, 1920 – February 16, 1999) was a doctoral student of the Nobel Laureate Max Born at Edinburgh. As formulators of the BBGKY hierarchy, Max Born and Bert Green became co-founders of modern many-body theory. Bert Green is the "G" in "BBGKY."

Born in Ipswich, England, He graduated with a PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 1947 with a thesis entitled, "A Unitary Quantum Electrodynamics."

From 1951 till his death in 1999, Green lectured mathematical physics at the University of Adelaide, Australia.

Green is notable for his book:

H.S. Green, "Information Theory and Quantum Physics: Physical Foundations for Understanding the Conscious Process," Springer, 2000, ISBN 3-540-66517-X.

Green is survived by Joanne Green and Roy Green (successful dean of several management schools around the world, including NUIG, Ireland and MGSM, Sydney)
