Fred Irvin Diamond (born November 19, 1964)[2] is a mathematician, known for his role in proving the modularity theorem for elliptic curves.[3] His research interest is in modular forms and Galois representations.

Diamond received his B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1983,[4] and received his Ph.D. in mathematics from Princeton University in 1988 as a doctoral student of Andrew Wiles.[4][5] He has held positions at Brandeis University and Rutgers University, and is currently a professor at King's College London.[4]

Diamond is the author of several research papers, and is also a coauthor along with Jerry Shurman of A First Course in Modular Forms, in the Graduate Texts in Mathematics series published by Springer-Verlag.[6][7][8]
