This article is about mathematical proofs that are incomplete in some way. They are not to be confused with mathematical proofs pertaining to the topic of incompleteness, such as Gödel's incompleteness theorems etc.
This page lists notable examples of incomplete published mathematical proofs. Most of these were accepted as correct for several years but later discovered to contain gaps. There are both examples where a complete proof was later found and where the alleged result turned out to be false.
