Graham Hoyle (1923 - 1985) was an English neurophysiologist and muscle biologist who trained many noteable neuroscientists and neuroethologists. Hoyle was also one of the major contributors to the field of neuroethology. Hoyle mastered the use of intracellular recording electrodes while working in the lab of Bernard Katz at University College London#. He travelled to the United States on a ## fellowship in 195# and worked briefly at Woodshole before moving to the West Coast. There he formed a close collaboration and friendship with Cornielus 'Keys' Wiersma at Caltech#. In 196# he accepted a position at the University of Oregon, where he remained for the rest of his career. Hoyle spent summers conducting research at Friday Harbor Lab in Washington. It was in Hoyle's lab that ground-breaking experiments were completed that demonstrated the role of Ca2+ in muscle excitation-contraction coupling. Hoyle authored a Scientific American article summarizing these experiments and their significance in 1970.

During his career, Hoyle trained a large number of young scientists who went on to establish their own notable careers.
