Doris Schattschneider

Doris J. Schattschneider (née Wood; Staten Island, 19 de outubro de 1939) é uma matemática estadunidense, professora aposentada do Moravian College. E conhecida por suas publicações sobre tesselação e a arte de Maurits Cornelis Escher, por auxiliar Martin Gardner a validar e popularizar as descobertas da tesselação pentagonal da matemática amadora Marjorie Rice, e por co-dirigir com Eugene Klotz o projeto que desenvolveu o The Geometer's Sketchpad.

Foi eleita em 2012 membro da American Mathematical Society.
