László Lempert (4 June 1952, in Budapest) is a Hungarian-American mathematician, working in several complex variables and complex geometry. He proved that the Carathéodory and Kobayashi distances agree on convex domains. He further proved that a compact, strictly pseudoconvex real analytic hypersurface can be embedded into the unit sphere of a Hilbert space.
