Maud Mandel (born 1967) is Professor of History and Judaic Studies and Dean of the College at Brown University. She specialises in twentieth-century French history, with a particular focus on the interaction of Muslim, Jewish, and Armenian communities in France.
Mandel received her BA in English from Oberlin College in 1989. In 1993, she received an MA from the University of Michigan, followed in 1998 by a PhD in Modern Jewish History from the same institution. In 1997, she joined the Brown faculty as a visiting assistant professor in the History department. Mandel became a full member of the faculty in 2001 and became a full professor in 2014. In June 2014, Mandel was named Dean of the College. In this role, she prioritized Brown's advising programs and the development of skills through the undergraduate curriculum.

Mandel has particularly emphasized the Muslim, Jewish, and Armenian communities in France and has investigated how these groups interact with each other and with broader society.
