Gustav Roch ( born December 9, 1839 in Dresden, † December 21, 1866 in Venice ) was a German mathematician.

Gustav Roch, son of Gustav Adolf Roch (Royal kitchen assistant ) and Auguste Caroline Roch (born Büttner ), grew up in Dresden. On October 15, 1863, Gustav Roch habilitated at the United University Halle-Wittenberg. In 1864 he wrote his most famous work "On the number of arbitrary constants in algebraic functions ", which was published in 1865 in the Journal Crelle. From this work, the Riemann -Roch theorem is quoted since 1874. On August 21, 1866 Gustav Roch was appointed associate professor at the United University Halle-Wittenberg. A few months later he died of tuberculosis infection in Venice.
