Benny Sudakov (born c. 1969) is an Israeli mathematician, who works mainly on Hungarian-style combinatorics. He received his PhD from Tel Aviv University under the supervision of Noga Alon. Until 2014, he was a professor at UCLA. In July 2013 Benny Sudakov joined ETH Zurich as a professor.

Sudakov has broad interests within the field of combinatorics, having written papers on extremal combinatorics, Ramsey theory, random graphs, and positional games.

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

He gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010, on the topic of "Combinatorics".
