Nobuo Yoneda (米田 信夫, Yoneda Nobuo, March 28, 1930 – April 22, 1996) was a Japanese mathematician and computer scientist.[1][2]

He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Tokyo in 1952, under the direction of Shokichi Iyanaga.

The Yoneda lemma in category theory and the Yoneda product in homological algebra are named after him.[3] In computer science, he is known for his work on ALGOL dialects.[4]
