Ivan Cherednik (Иван Владимирович Чередник) is a Russian-American mathematician. He introduced double affine Hecke algebras, and used them to prove Macdonald's constant term conjecture in (Cherednik 1995). He has also dealt with algebraic geometry, number theory and Soliton equations. His research interests include representation theory, mathematical physics, and algebraic combinatorics. He is currently the Austin M. Carr Distinguished Professor of mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

In 1998 he was an Invited Speaker of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin.[1]
