Jonathan Michael Wahl (born January 29, 1945 in Washington, DC ) is an American mathematician who studies algebraic geometry .

Wahl studied at Yale University with a bachelor's and master's degree in 1965 and received his doctorate in 1971 with David Mumford at Harvard University ( Deformations of branched coverings and equisingularity ). 1970 to 1972 he was an instructor at the University of California, Berkeley and 1972/73 at the Institute for Advanced Study and again in 1979. In 1973 he was Assistant Professor and 1981 Professor of Mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He deals with algebraic curves and surfaces and the topology and geometry of surface singularities.

He is editor of the Duke Mathematical Journal and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society .
