Guy L. Nesom (born August 2, 1945)[2] is an American writer and botanist.

Nesom received his Ph.D. in systematic botany from the

polyphyletic name Aster,[3] and his recent and ongoing contributions to the Flora of North America project.[4]

Several plant species have been named for Nesom, such as Zeltnera nesomii of the gentian family[5] and Steviopsis nesomii of the aster family.[6] Three genera are named in his honor: Nesomia, Neonesomia, and Guynesomia.[7][8][9]
