Tonny Albert Springer (13 February 1926 – 7 December 2011) was a mathematician at Utrecht University who worked on linear algebraic groups, Hecke algebras, complex reflection groups, and who introduced Springer representations and the Springer resolution.

Springer began his undergraduate studies in 1945 at Leiden University and remained there for his graduate work in mathematics, earning his PhD in 1951 under Hendrik Kloosterman with thesis Over symplectische Transformaties.

In 1964 Springer was elected to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

[2] In 2006 in Madrid he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians with lecture on Some results on compactifications of semisimple groups.

(At the 1962 ICM in Stockholm he made a short contribution Twisted composition algebras, but was not an invited speaker.)
