Otfried Cheong (formerly Otfried Schwarzkopf) is a German computational geometer working in South Korea at KAIST. He is known as one of the authors of the widely used computational geometry textbook Computational Geometry: Algorithms and Applications and as the developer of Ipe, a vector graphics editor.

Cheong completed his doctorate from the Free University of Berlin in 1992 under the supervision of Helmut Alt.[1] He joined KAIST in 2005, after previously holding positions at Utrecht University, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and the Eindhoven University of Technology.[2]

Cheong was co-chair of the Symposium on Computational Geometry in 2006, with Nina Amenta.[3] In 2017 he was recognized by the Association for Computing Machinery as a Distinguished Scientist.[4]
