Esta bibliografia da antropologia lista algumas publicações notáveis no campo da antropologia, incluindo suas várias subáreas. Não é abrangente e continua a ser desenvolvido. Também inclui uma série de trabalhos que não são de autoria de antropólogos, mas são relevantes para o campo, como teoria literária, sociologia, psicologia e antropologia filosófica.
Antropologia é o estudo da humanidade. Descrita como "a mais humanística das ciências e a mais científica das humanidades", é considerada uma ponte entre as ciências naturais, as ciências sociais e as humanidades, e baseia-se em uma ampla gama de campos relacionados. Na América do Norte, a antropologia é tradicionalmente dividida em quatro grandes subdisciplinas: antropologia biológica, antropologia sociocultural, antropologia linguística e arqueologia. Outras tradições acadêmicas usam definições menos amplas, onde um ou mais desses campos são considerados disciplinas separadas, mas relacionadas.
