Abstract: Given a complex Borel measure $ \mu$ with compact support in the complex plane $ \mathbb{C}$ the sesquilinear form defined on analytic polynomials $ f$ and $ g$ by $ B_\mu(f,g) = \int f\bar g \,d\mu$, determines an operator $ T_\mu$ from the space of such polynomials $ \mathcal{P}$ to the space of linear functionals on $ \overline{\mathcal{P}}$. This operator is called the Toeplitz operator with symbol $ \mu$. We show that $ T_\mu$ has finite rank if and only if $ \mu$ is a finite linear combination of point masses. Application to Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space is immediate.
