The '''ICM Emmy Noether Lecture''' is an additional lecture series, sponsored by the [[International Mathematical Union]]. Beginning in 1994 this lecture was delivered at the [[International Congress of Mathematicians]], held every four years. In 2010 the lecture series was made permanent.<ref>{{cite web |title=ICM Emmy Noether Lecture |url=http://www.mathunion.org/activities/icm/emmy-noether-lecture/ |publisher=International Mathematical Union |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170805195846/https://www.mathunion.org/activities/icm/emmy-noether-lecture/ |archive-date=5 August 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The 2021 Noether Lecture was supposed to have been given by [[Andrea Bertozzi]] of [[UCLA]], but it was cancelled.
