Wolfgang Gröbner (11 February 1899 – 20 August 1980) was an Austrian mathematician.

Gröbner first studied engineering at the University of Technology in Graz, Austria, but switched in 1929 to mathematics.

He wrote his dissertation Ein Beitrag zum Problem der Minimalbasen in 1932 at the University of Vienna; his advisor was Philipp Furtwängler.

After his promotion, he did further studies at the University of Göttingen under Emmy Noether, in what is now known as commutative algebra.

Later he contributed with his students to numerical analysis of ordinary differential equations and the industrial applications of Lie-theoretic methods, including a book on Lie series.
