Lipman Bers (May 22, 1914, Riga, LatviaOctober 29, 1993, New Rochelle, New York) was an American mathematician who worked on Riemann surfaces.

Bers received his Ph.D. in 1938 from the University of Prague. His advisor was Charles Loewner. He worked at Syracuse University (1945-1951), New York University (1951-1964) and at Columbia University (1964-1982). He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Finnish Academy of Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He was a Vice-President (1963-65) and a President (1975-77) of the American Mathematical Society. He received the AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Exposition in 1975.
