Michael Schlessinger is a retired mathematician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill working in algebraic geometry. He proved Schlessinger's theorem about representable functors of Artinian algebras and introduced Lichtenbaum–Schlessinger functors in deformation theory.

Schlessinger obtained his Ph.D. in 1964 from Harvard University, under the supervision of John Tate.[1] In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2]
