Wendell Helms Fleming is an American mathematician, specializing in geometrical analysis and stochastic differential equations.
Fleming received his PhD under Laurence Chisholm Young at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a thesis entitled Boundary and related notions for generalized parametric surfaces. Fleming was a professor at Brown University, where he retired in 2009 as professor emeritus.
Fleming was with Herbert Federer a pioneer of geometric measure theory. Later in his career, he worked on stochastic processes, stochastic differential equations and their applications in control theory. In 1976-1977 he was a Guggenheim Fellow. In 1982 he gave a plenary address at the ICM in Warsaw.
