Christoph Thiele (born 1968 in Bielefeld) is a German mathematician working in the field of harmonic analysis. After completing his undergraduate studies at TU Darmstadt and Bielefeld University, he obtained his Ph.D. in 1995 at Yale under the supervision of Ronald Coifman. After spending time at UCLA, where he was promoted to full professor, he occupied the Hausdorff Chair at the University of Bonn.{{Cite web|url=http://www.hcm.uni-bonn.de/de/people/profile/christoph-thiele/|title = HCM: Prof. Dr. Christoph Thiele}}

He is famous for work (joint with Michael Lacey) on the bilinear Hilbert transform and for giving a simplified proof of Carleson's theorem; the techniques in this proof have deeply influenced the field of time–frequency analysis. He was a recipient of the 1996 Salem Prize,{{cite web | title=Prix Salem | website=Laboratoire de Mathématiques Raphaël Salem | url=https://lmrs.univ-rouen.fr/fr/content/prix-salem | language=fr | access-date=15 November 2023}} an invited speaker at the 2002 International Congress of Mathematicians{{Cite web|url=https://www.mathunion.org/icm-plenary-and-invited-speakers|title = ICM Plenary and Invited Speakers | International Mathematical Union (IMU)}} and a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ams.org/profession/fellows-list|title = Fellows of the American Mathematical Society}}
