László Fejes Tóth (Szeged, 12 March 1915 – Budapest, 17 March 2005) was a Hungarian mathematician who specialised in geometry. He proved that a honeycomb pattern is the most efficient way to pack centrally symmetric convex sets on the Euclidean plane (a generalization of Thue's theorem, a 2-dimensional analog of Kepler conjecture). He also investigated packings on the sphere. He was the first to show, in 1953, that the Kepler conjecture can be reduced to a finite case analysis.
