Gottfried Emanuel Noether (7 January 1915 – 22 August 1991) was a German-born American statistician and educator; one of the third generation of a famous family of mathematicians: he was the son of Fritz Noether and nephew of Emmy Noether, the grandson of Max Noether, and brother of chemist Herman Noether. He died in Willimantic, Connecticut.

Noether was born into a Jewish family in Karlsruhe, Grand Duchy of Baden, German Empire in 1915. He later moved to Breslau (now Wrocław, Poland). The Nazi regime annulled his citizenship. He studied mathematics from 1935 to 1937 in Tomsk University and tried after his father's arrest to go to USA. With the help of his relatives he reached Sweden in 1938 and from there he travelled to the United States in 1939. There he earned a bachelor's degree (1940) and a master's degree (1941).

The following four years, during World War II, he served with US Army intelligence in England, France, and Germany. Noether was one of the Ritchie Boys. After the war, he earned a doctorate from Columbia University (1949).

He worked in academia for the rest of his career, beginning at New York University. He moved to Boston University in 1952 where he worked until he joined the faculty of the University of Connecticut in 1968. There, he eventually became chairman of the department of statistics. He retired in 1985. An expert on nonparametric statistics, he wrote more than 50 articles and six books, served on a statistical advisory committee of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget and as an associate editor of ''The American Statistician'', and was a fellow of the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics; he also wrote a short biography of his father, who was executed in the Soviet Union in 1941. The Gottfried E. Noether Awards for nonparametric statistics were established in his honor in 1999.
