Cato Maximilian Guldberg (August 11, 1836 in Christiania (today Oslo) – January 14, 1902, Oslo) was a Norwegian mathematician and chemist.
Guldberg worked at the University of Oslo. Together with his brother-in-law, Peter Waage, he proposed the law of mass action. The law attracted little attention until, in 1877, van 't Hoff arrived at a similar relationship and experimentally demonstrated its validity.
