劳伦斯·柯尔伯格（英语：Lawrence Kohlberg，英语发音：/ˈkoʊlbərɡ/，1927年10月25日－1987年1月19日），美国心理学家，以道德发展阶段理论而著名。他曾担任芝加哥大学心理学系教授与哈佛大学教育研究所教授。他研究的主力在道德推理，将25年前让·皮亚杰儿童道德发展的诠释进行延伸，这类主题的研究在他的年代当中较为罕见。事实上，在柯尔伯格能够将他的观点阐述在他的文章中并予以公开前，已经花了他5年时间。柯尔伯格的研究不仅延伸了皮亚杰的发现，也受到哲学家乔治·贺伯特·米德与詹姆斯·马克·鲍德温的理论。于此同时，他在心理学当中创造了「道德发展」的新领域。许多学者像是艾略特·图列尔与詹姆斯·雷斯特，响应了柯尔伯格的研究成果，并各自给予此研究独特的贡献。哈格布鲁姆（Haggbloom）曾使用6个标准，如期刊文章与教材引用等进行实证研究，认定柯尔伯格为20世纪第30位最知名的心理学家。

Lawrence Kohlberg (/ˈkoʊlbərɡ/; October 25, 1927 – January 19, 1987) was an American psychologist best known for his theory of stages of moral development. He served as a professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Chicago and at the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University. Even though it was considered unusual in his era, he decided to study the topic of moral judgment, extending Jean Piaget's account of children's moral development from twenty-five years earlier. In fact, it took Kohlberg five years before he was able to publish an article based on his views. Kohlberg's work reflected and extended not only Piaget's findings but also the theories of philosophers George Herbert Mead and James Mark Baldwin. At the same time he was creating a new field within psychology: "moral development". In an empirical study using six criteria, such as citations and recognition, Kohlberg was found to be the 30th most eminent psychologist of the 20th century.
