David Le Breton (Le Mans, France, 1953) is a prominent French sociologist and anthropologist, known for his deep exploration of human corporeality and its relationship with society and culture. He is a professor at the University of Strasbourg and a member of the University Institute of France.

His work covers topics such as pain, silence, the face, walking, and risk behaviors, with a particular focus on the experience of the body in modernity. Le Breton has written more than 20 books, many of which have been translated into various languages. Among his most influential titles are Anthropology of the Body and Modernity, The Sociology of the Body, Silence, Anthropology of Pain, and In Praise of Walking.

In his studies, Le Breton argues that "we do not have a body, we are our body," highlighting the importance of corporeality as a constitutive element of identity and human experience. Additionally, he has critically addressed the impact of technology and social networks on the perception of the body and mental health, warning about the risks of a "seated humanity" that reduces the joy of living.
