Bryant Tuckerman (November 28, 1915 - May 19, 2002) was an American mathematician, born in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was a member of the team that developed the Data Encryption Standard (DES).

He studied topology at Princeton, where he invented the Tuckerman traverse method for revealing all the faces of a flexagon.

He was also the discoverer, on March 4 1971, of the 24th Mersenne prime, a titanic prime, with a value of

:2^{19937}-1.
