For me, the most notable absence is Gandhi for Nobel for peace.

He effectively won in 1948. They don't do posthumous awards, so they abstained from giving out the prize that year, stating directly that: "there was no suitable living candidate".

And he didn't get one a decade prior because he was reportedly a tad racist, giving other candidates the edge.

Technically this is a list of top greatest scientists who never won a Nobel Prize.

But I digress..
