Ernst Leonard Lindelof was a Finnish mathematician, born on 7 March 1870 and died on 4 June 1946, who made contributions in real analysis, complex analysis and topology. Lindelof spaces are named after him. He was the son of the mathematician Lorenz Leonard Lindelof, whose chair he eventually succeeded, and the brother of the philologist Uno Lorenz Lindelof. He founded the Finnish school of function theory, which achieved lasting international renown, and in 1938, its centenary year, he was secretary of the Finnish Society of Science and Letters.
