'''Craig Allen Kletzing''' (3 February 1958 – 10 August 2023) was an American plasma physicist and professor at the [[University of Iowa]], known for his work in space [[Plasma (physics)|plasmas]] and laboratory plasmas. He conducted pioneering work in kinetic [[Alfvén wave]]s,<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kletzing |first1=C.
