Martin Goldstern (born 7 May 1963 in Austria) is an Austrian mathematician and university professor[1] for set theory at the TU Wien and head of the research unit 8 of the Institute of Discrete Mathematics and Geometry.

[3][4] Goldstern earned a Ph.D. in 1986[5] at the TU Wien under the direction of Robert F. Tichy,[6] with a dissertation in equidistribution;[7] and another in set theory in 1991 at UC Berkeley[8] under the direction of Jack Silver and Haim Judah.

He acquired habilitation at TU Wien in 1993[9] with the thesis Tools for your forcing construction, which greatly simplified, and made widely accessible, a general preservation theorem of Saharon Shelah for countable support proper forcing iterations.

[10] In 2015, 2018 and 2023 he held visiting professor positions at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Together with Jakob Kellner and Shelah he showed the consistency (assuming large cardinals) of Cichoń's maximum, i.e., the statement that the ten "independent" entries in Cichoń's diagram are all different.
