Bruno Latour (born 22 June 1947) is a French philosopher, anthropologist, and sociologist. He is known for his work on science and technology studies, actor-network theory, and the sociology of religion. He has authored more than 20 books and hundreds of articles, many of which have been translated into different languages.

Latour was born in Beaune, France, and studied philosophy and anthropology at the Sorbonne. He later completed his PhD in sociology at the Centre de sociologie de l'innovation at the École nationale supérieure des mines de Paris. He has held positions at several universities, including Sciences Po and École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris, as well as Harvard University and the University of California, San Diego.

Latour's work has had a significant impact on the fields of science and technology studies, sociology, and anthropology. He has developed an approach called actor-network theory, which emphasizes the role of non-human actors, such as technologies and objects, in shaping social interactions. His work has also explored the relationship between science and religion, and the ways in which scientific knowledge is constructed and legitimized.

Latour has received numerous awards for his work, including the Holberg Prize in 2013. In addition to his academic work, Latour has been involved in contemporary art and has collaborated with artists on several projects.
