Kevin Mark Buzzard is a British mathematician and currently a Professor of Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London. He specialises in algebraic number theory.

He obtained a B.A. degree (Parts I & II) in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, and went sunsequently on to complete the C.A.S.M. (Part III). He then completed his dissertation, entitled "The levels of modular representations", under the supervision of Richard Taylor, [ [http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/html/id.phtml?id=49405 Kevin Mark Buzzard] , "Mathematical Genealogy Project"] for which he was awarded a Ph.D. degree.

He took a lectureship at Imperial College London in 1998, a readership in 2002, and was appointed to a professorship in 2004. From October to December 2002 he held a visiting professorship at Harvard University, having previously worked at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton (1995), the University of California Berkeley (1996-7), and the Institute Henri Poincaré in Paris (2000).
