Apoorva Khare (Marathi: अपूर्व खरे, born 1980) is an Indian mathematician who works in matrix positivity and analysis, combinatorics and discrete mathematics, and representation theory. He was awarded the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, the highest science award in India, for the year 2022 in Mathematical Sciences.

Khare did his schooling in Bhubaneswar, Odisha until 1997, at Demonstration Multipurpose School and Buxi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar College. He obtained his B.Stat. (2000) from the Indian Statistical Institute at Kolkata, and his M.S. (2001) and Ph.D. (2006) in Mathematics from the University of Chicago. He then held postdoctoral positions at the University of California at Riverside and Yale University, and a Research Associateship at Stanford University before joining the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, where he is currently an Associate Professor in Mathematics.

Besides the Bhatnagar Prize, Khare is also a recipient of the Swarnajayanti Fellowship and the Ramanujan Fellowship from SERB/DST, Govt. of India. He was invited to deliver the 2022 Hansraj Gupta Memorial Award Lecture and received the A.K. Agarwal Award 2023 by the Indian Mathematical Society.

Khare has been elected a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. In a publication by the Government of India celebrating 75 years of Indian independence, Khare was listed as one of the 75 scientists aged under 50 who are "shaping today's India". He also delivered a plenary talk (the ILAS Invited Address) at the 2023 AMS Joint Mathematics Meetings in Boston, USA.
