Tyakal Nanjundiah Venkataramana (born 1958) is an Indian mathematician who specialises in algebraic groups and automorphic forms.
He was awarded the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in 2001, the highest science award in India, in the mathematical sciences category. Venkataramana's first major work was the extension of G A Margulis's work to the case of groups in positive characteristics; this earlier work was one of the most important achievements that led to Margulis being awarded the Fields medal in 1979.
