Robert Redfield was an American anthropologist and ethnolinguist whose ethnographic work in Tepoztlan, Mexico, is considered a landmark of Latin American ethnography. He spent his entire career at the University of Chicago, where he received all of his higher education, joined the faculty in 1927, remained until his death in 1958, and served as Dean of Social Sciences from 1934 to 1946; he was also a co-founder, with fellow Chicago professors Robert Maynard Hutchins, Frank Knight and John Ulrich Nef, of the university's Committee on Social Thought.
