Nathan "Nati" Seiberg (/ˈsaɪbɜːrɡ/; born September 22, 1956) is an Israeli American theoretical physicist who works on string theory. He is currently a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, USA.

His contributions to mathematical physics include:
- Mathematical foundations of rational 2-dimensional CFTs (with G. Moore).
- Discovery of some of the first examples of "Seiberg Duals", numerous and ever growing disparate theories that are dynamically equivalent to another at low energy
- papers from the early 1990s about the application of holomorphy to calculations in gauge theories with supersymmetry, including a solution of N=1 four-dimensional gauge theories such as SQCD. He later used renormalization group methods to obtain a 3d Seiberg dual for his 4D SQCD
- articles about the strong-weak duality (S-duality) in the context of supersymmetric gauge theories
- papers about the complete solution of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories in four and three dimensions
- a paper on Matrix theory and M theory in the discrete Light-Cone Quantization
- his and Edward Witten's analysis of the appearance of non-commutative geometry in theories containing open strings, and an identification of a low energy limit of open string dynamics as a noncommutative quantum field theory
- OM-theory[1] (with Andrew Strominger, Shiraz Minwalla and Rajesh Gopakumar)
- In recent years, partly with Witten, T. Senthil and others, results in Chern-Simons theories and non-supersymmetric field theory dualities of high relevance to condensed matter theory.
Honors and awards
He was recipient of a 1996 MacArthur Fellowship[2] and the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics in 1998.[3] In July 2012, he was an inaugural awardee of the Fundamental Physics Prize, the creation of physicist and internet entrepreneur, Yuri Milner.[4] In 2016, he was awarded the Dirac Medal of the ICTP.
