Isaac Namioka (25 April 1928 to 25 September 2019) was a Japanese-American mathematician who worked in general topology and functional analysis. He was born in Tono in the north of Honshu, Japan, grew up partly in Himeji, and earned a doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley in 1956 under John L. Kelley. He taught at Cornell University until 1963 and then moved to the University of Washington, where he became professor emeritus and advised four doctoral students, with more than twenty academic descendants largely through his student Joseph Rosenblatt. His book on linear topological spaces, written with Kelley, became a standard text. He died at home in Seattle.

Isaac Namioka, who proved it in his 1974 paper Separate Continuity and Joint Continuity published in the Pacific Journal of Mathematics, the theorem establishes conditions under which a separately continuous function must be jointly continuous on a topologically large subset of its domain.
