Léonhard Euler (dibaca [ˈɔʏlɐ]) (Basel, Swiss, 15 April1707 – 18 September, 1783 di St Petersburg, Rusia) nyaéta salah saurang ahli matématika jeung fisika Swiss. Euler dianggap salah saurang ahli matématika brilian dina abad ka 18 sarta panggedéna salila ieu; kaasup nu pangproduktifna tur ngumpulkeun hasil karyana dina leuwih ti 70 jilid.
Euler ngawangun sababaraha konsép penting jeung ngabuktikeun sababaraha teori ahir dina mathematics, ti kalkulus kana teori wilangan kana topologi. Dina hal ieu, ngawanohkeun watesan matématika modérn, ngartikeun konsép fungsi, tur notasina saperti sin, cos, jeung tan keur fungsi trigonometri.
Kolotna Euler nyaéta Paul Euler jeung Marguerite Brucker. Paul Euler nyaéta saurang pastor Kristen Protéstan tur hayang anakna jiga manéhna. Sanajan Euler dilahirkeun di Basel, Swiss, tapi salila budak leuwih lila hirup di Riehen, tatangga kota tempat bapana jadi menteri Luther. Euler hirup kumbuh tur mikaresep kana matématika tur dididik ku kulawarga Johann Bernoulli.
Nurut kana paménta ramana, anjeunna diajar téologi, Basa Ibrani, jeung Basa Yunani di Universitas Basel, sanajan teu manggihan hal saperti nu dipikaresep dina matematika. Euler geus jadi saurang pastur sawaktu Bernoulli ngalarang. Bernoulli ngayakinkeun ramana yén Euler bakal jadi ahli matématika kawentar. Euler tamat ti Universitas Basel dina taun 1726. Di dieu anjeunna diajar tur babarengan nyieun karya babarengan jeung ahli matématika kawentar, kaasup Pierre Varignon, René Descartes, Isaac Newton, Galileo, Frans van Schooten, Hermann von Reichenau, Brook Taylor, John Wallis, Jacob Bernoulli sarta tangtu kaasup ogé Johann Bernoulli.
