Grigori Iakovlevici Perelman (rusă: Григорий Яковлевич Перельман; născut pe 13 iunie 1966) este un matematician rus de origini evreiești. A fost născut și trăiește în Sankt Petersburg. Este cunoscut pentru contribuțiile sale la geometria riemanniană și pentru faptul că a rezolvat conjectura lui Poincaré. În 2006 a fost decorat cu Medalia Fields, pe care însă a refuzat să o accepte. Pe 18 martie 2010, a fost anunțat că el întrunește criteriile pentru a primi Clay Millennium Prize pentru rezolvarea conjecturii Poincaré. La data de 1 iulie 2010, el a refuzat premiul de un milion de dolari, spunând că el consideră că contribuția sa la demonstrarea conjecturii Poincaré nu este mai mare decât cea a lui Richard Hamilton, care a introdus teoria Ricci flow cu scopul de a ataca Conjectura geometrizării.
