'Pierre Macherey' (b. 1938) is a French Marxist literary critic. A former student of Louis Althusser and collaborator on the influential volume ''Reading "Capital"'', Macherey is a central figure in the development of French post-structuralism and Marxism. His work is influential in literary theory and Continental philosophy in Europe (including Britain) though it is generally little read in the United States.
