Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (1906-1992) was a pioneer in the fields of computer programming. She developed the first computer programming language compiler, work that led to the development of COBOL. Although she is often credited with originating the term "bug" to describe a computer problem, she acknowledged that the term was already in use when she found a moth and offered it as the first example of an actual insect causing a computer bug. Admiral Hopper was much admired as a technologist and teacher, and is a popular role model for women interested in computing.

A pioneer in the field, she was one of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, and developed the first compiler for a computer programming language. She conceptualized the idea of machine-independent programming languages, which led to the development of COBOL, one of the first modern programming languages. She is credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches (inspired by an actual moth removed from the computer). Owing to the breadth of her accomplishments and her naval rank, she is sometimes referred to as "Amazing Grace".
