Feldman Gennadiy Mykhailovych (Ukrainian: Геннадій Михайлович Фельдман ) (born October 15, 1947, Kharkiv, Ukraine) is a Soviet and Ukrainian mathematician, corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, professor, Head of the Mathematical Division of B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

In 1970 G.M. Feldman graduated the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. From 1970 to 1973 he was a PhD student at B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering. In 1973 he defended his thesis “Harmonic Analysis of Non-unitary Representations of Locally Compact Abelian Groups” (Supervisor Prof. Yu. I. Lyubich) . He has been working at B. Verkin Institute for Low Temperature Physics and Engineering starting as a junior researcher and heading Mathematical Division in 2012. In 1985 he defended his doctoral thesis “Arithmetic of Probability Measures on Locally Compact Abelian groups” at Vilnius University. In 2018, he was elected as a corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. For more than 20 years M. Feldman worked part-time at Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. He is the author of 4 monographs and more than 90 scientific articles.

G.M. Feldman is an expert in the field of Abstract Harmonic Analysis and Algebraic Probability Theory. He constructed a theory of decompositions of random variables and proved analogs of the classical characterization theorems of mathematical statistics in the case when random variables take values in various classes of locally compact Abelian groups (discrete, compact, and others).
