Karl August Reinhardt (27 January 1895 – 27 April 1941) was a German mathematician whose research concerned geometry, including polygons and tessellations. He solved one of the parts of Hilbert's eighteenth problem, and is the namesake of the Reinhardt domains in several complex variables, and Reinhardt polygons and the Reinhardt conjecture on packing density.
