Yuri Tschinkel (Юрий Чинкель, born 31 May 1964 in Moscow) is a Russian-German-American mathematician, specializing in algebraic geometry, automorphic forms and number theory.

Tschinkel attended from 1979, the Erweiterte Oberschule Heinrich-Hertz-Gymnasium in East Berlin and passed there in 1983 the Abitur.

He graduated with honors from Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1990 and received his doctorate in 1992 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with thesis Rational points on algebraic surfaces under the supervision of Yuri Manin and Michael Artin.

Tschinkel does research on rational points on algebraic varieties and other questions of arithmetic geometry.

In 2006, he was an Invited Speaker with talk Geometry over nonclosed fields at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid.
