Herman J. J. te Riele (born January 5, 1947) is a mathematician at CWI in Amsterdam with a specialization in algorithms in discrete tomography, factorization of large numbers, cryptography in number fields, and amicable numbers.

Te Riele received a MS degree in mathematical engineering from Delft University of Technology (1970) and a PhD in mathematics and physics from University of Amsterdam (1976). In 1985 he and Odlyzko disproved the Mertens conjecture. In 1987 he found a new upper bound for π(x) − Li(x) (see Skewes' number).
