Percy A. Deift (b. September 10, 1945)[1] is a mathematician known for his work on spectral theory, integrable systems, random matrix theory and Riemann–Hilbert problems.

Deift was born in Durban, South Africa. He is a Professor of Mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University.

Deift is a co-winner of the 1998 Pólya Prize.[1][2] He is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (elected 2009).[3][4] Deift received an NSF Special Creativity Award in 1997[1] and was a 1999 Guggenheim Fellow.[1][5] He gave an invited address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin in 1998 [1][6] and a plenary address at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid in 2006. He also gave the 2003 Stelson Lecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology.[7]
