Constantin S. Teleman (born in 1968) is a Romanian-American mathematician. He studies algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, Lie groups and loop groups as well as their representations and their connections to mathematical physics, notably quantum field theory.

Teleman began studying at Harvard University in 1987 (that same year, he was a Putnam Fellow) and obtained his master's degree in 1991. He then received his doctoral degree in 1994 under the direction of Raoul Bott (and Graeme Segal after he worked at the University of Cambridge) with a thesis titled "Lie Algebra Cohomology and the Fusion Rules". He was then the Szegö assistant professor at Stanford University and Research Fellow at St John's College at the University of Cambridge. In 1999, became an assistant professor at the University of Texas at Austin and lecturer in 2001, then in 2003 a reader for St John's College at Cambridge.
