Osip Isaakovich Gelfond (Russian: Осип Ге́льфонд) (1868–1942)[1] was a Russian physician and Marxist philosopher.

Osip studied at the University of Paris, gaining a medical degree in 1896. He married Musia Gershevna in 1899, who had also recently graduated with a medical degree from the Sorbonne. Gelfond was friends with Anatoly Lunacharsky, Lazar Lagin and Lev Tumarkin. [1]

He participated in a seminar held in St Petersburg in 1908 by the Russian Machists which led to the publication of Studies in the Philosophy of Marxism.[2][3]

He was the father of Alexander Gelfond, born in 1906.
