James Alexander Shohat (aka Jacques Chokhate (or Chokhatte), 18 November 1886, Brest-Litovsk – 8 October 1944, Philadelphia) was a Russian-American mathematician at the University of Pennsylvania who worked on the moment problem. He studied at the University of Petrograd and married the physicist Nadiascha W. Galli, the couple emigrating from Russia to the United States in 1923.
He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1924 at Toronto.
