Jesús María Sanz-Serna (born 12 June 1953 in Valladolid, Spain) is a mathematician who specializes in applied mathematics. Sanz-Serna pioneered the field of geometric integration and wrote the first book on this subject.[1] From 1998 to 2006, he was rector of the University of Valladolid.[2]

He received the inaugural Dahlquist Prize from the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics in 1995[3] and became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society in 2012.[4] His 60th birthday was celebrated at the 2013 International Conference on Scientific Computation and Differential Equations (SciCADE) in Valladolid.[5]
