Bernard Teissier (French pronunciation: [tɛsje]; born 1945)[1] is a French mathematician and a member of the Nicolas Bourbaki group. He has made major contributions to algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, specifically to singularity theory, multiplicity theory[2][3] and valuation theory.

Teissier attained his doctorate from Paris Diderot University in 1973, under supervision of Heisuke Hironaka.[4] He was a member and a leading figure of Nicolas Bourbaki.[5] Along with Alain Connes, he gave the 1975/1976 Peccot Lectures. He was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematics at Warsaw in 1983.[6]

In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[7]
