Shmuel Friedland (born 1944 in Tashkent, Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic) is an Israeli-American mathematician.

Friedland studied at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, graduating in 1967 with bachelor's degree and in 1971 with doctorate of science under the supervision of Binjamin Schwarz. As a postdoc Friedland was in 1972/73 at the Weizmann Institute, in 1973/74 at Stanford University, and in 1974/75 at the Institute for Advanced Study. Then he taught at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he became in 1982 a full professor. In 1985 he became a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Besides linear algebra (matrix theory), Friedland does research on a wide variety of mathematics, including complex dynamics and applied mathematics. With Elizabeth Gross, he proved a set-theoretic version of the salmon conjecture posed by Elizabeth S. Allman.

With Miroslav Fiedler and Israel Gohberg, Friedland shared in the first Hans Schneider Prize, awarded by the International Linear Algebra Society in 1993. He was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (Class of 2019). Also, he was selected as a 2021 SIAM Fellow, "for deep and varied contributions to mathematics, especially linear algebra, matrix theory, and matrix computations".
