Celestyn Burstin (1888-1938) was an Austrian-Soviet mathematician. He was born in 1888 in Tarnopol, graduated from the University of Vienna in 1911, and earned a doctorate degree in 1912. Being a Jew and a communist, he had difficulty to get an academic appointment in German-speaking lands, and moved to Minsk in 1929, where he was appointed as a professor of the Belarusian State University, and as the director of the Institute of Mathematics of the Belarusian National Academy of Sciences; shortly thereafter he was also elected as a member of the academy.
