Crelle's Journal, or just Crelle, is the common name for a mathematics journal, the Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (in English
: Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics).

(Neuenschwander 1994, p. 1533). It has published many notable papers, including works of Niels Henrik Abel
, Georg Cantor
, and Gotthold Eisenstein. It was edited by Carl Wilhelm Borchardt
