Binnie Dunlop (3 August 1874[1] – 15 July 1946) was a Scottish doctor and advocate of eugenics.[2]

Dunlop, the son of a Glasgow doctor, studied medicine at Glasgow University, graduating M.B. (1898)[1] and Ch.B. However, he never practiced medicine, instead studying social and economic questions.[2] He joined the Malthusian League in 1910, and was probably the author of the League's 1913 pamphlet Hygenic Methods of Birth Control.[3] He held office in the Malthusian League as Honorary Secretary and Treasurer, and was editor of The Malthusian from 1918 to 1921.[2]
