Eckart Viehweg (born December 30, 1948 in Zwickau , † January 30, 2010 in Essen ) was a German mathematician. He held a professorship for algebraic geometry at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Essen.

In 1975 Viehweg received his doctorate from the University of Mannheim under Herbert Popp (invariants of the degenerate fibers of local families of curves) and in 1980 he completed his habilitation in Mannheim, where he was an assistant from 1975 to 1982. From 1982 to 1984 he was a Heisenberg Fellow. Since 1984 he has been a professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen. In 2010 he died of cancer.

In 1986 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berkeley (Vanishing theorems and positivity in algebraic fiber spaces). In 2003 he and his wife Hélène Esnault received the Leibniz Prize .

A vanishing theorem for cohomology groups of certain line bundles on complex projective manifolds is named after him and Yūjirō Kawamata .

He has been a member of the Leopoldina since 2009 . In 2009 he received an honorary doctorate from the Vietnamese Academy of Science and Technology in Hanoi.

He was co-editor of the Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics (1996 to 2009), the Journal of Algebraic Geometry and the Annales de l'École Normale Supérieure.
