Wolfgang Soergel (born 12 June 1962 in Geneva) is a German mathematician, specializing in geometry and representation theory.

[citation needed] Soergel received his Promotion (PhD) in 1988 from the University of Hamburg.

His PhD dissertation Universelle versus relative Einhüllende: Eine geometrische Untersuchung von Quotienten von universellen Einhüllenden halbeinfacher Lie-Algebren (Universal versus relative envelopes: a geometric investigation of quotients of universal envelopes of semi-simple Lie algebras) was supervised by Jens Carsten Jantzen.

He was an invited speaker at the 1994 International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich.
