Adolphe Buhl (19 June 1878, in Paris – 24 March 1949, in Viry-Châtillon, Seine-et-Oise) was a French mathematician and astronomer.

Biography At the age of 14, he was paralyzed, immobilizing him for a few years and forcing him to walk on crutches all his life. He became interested in mathematics and reached a high level of expertise as a self-taught mathematician. He obtained a PhD in 1901 at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Paris with thesis Sur les équations différentielles simultanées et la forme aux dérivées partielles adjointe and with second thesis La théorie de Delaunay sur le mouvement de la lune. The thesis committee was composed of Gaston Darboux, Henri Poincaré and Paul Appell. His lectures given at the Faculty of Sciences of Toulouse were published.

He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1928 in Bologna. He was awarded the Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur.
