> Boris Weisfeiler was a Soviet-born mathematician and professor at Penn State University who lived in the United States before disappearing in Chile in 1985.

During the Chilean Pinochet military dictatorship Boris Weisfeiler allegedly drowned. He is known for the Weisfeiler filtration, Weisfeiler–Leman algorithm and Kac–Weisfeiler conjectures.
