Sandra Ruth Lipsitz Bem (Pittsburgh, – Ithaca, ) est une psychologue américaine connue pour ses travaux sur l'androgynie et sur le genre. Ses travaux pionniers sur les rôles et les stéréotypes de genre ont mené à plus d'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes dans le monde du travail aux États-Unis[non neutre][1].
Elle a notamment développé le Bem Sex-Role Inventory, un outil d'évaluation (mesure) de la masculinité et de la féminité, utilisé pour la recherche sur les rôles de genre.
