France Winddance Twine (born 1960) is a Black and Native American sociologist, ethnographer, visual artist, and documentary filmmaker.

Twine is the first sociologist to publish an ethnography on everyday racism in rural Brazil after the end of military dictatorship during the abertura (return to democratic rule).

A native of Chicago, she is the granddaughter of Paul Q.Twine Sr., a Civil Rights activist and founding member of the Catholic Interracial Council of Chicago, a Civil Rights organization that brought Irish, Italian, German, Polish and Black Catholics together to fight for racial justice.

Her great grandfather was William Henry Twine (1862-1933), a Creek Nation civil rights attorney who published "The Cimiter", the first black run newspaper in what was then Indian territory.

Her recent publications include Outsourcing the Womb: Race, Class and Gestational Surrogacy in a Global Market (2015), Geographies of Privilege (2013) and Girls With Guns: Firearms, Feminism and Militarism (2012).

One of her most important theoretical contributions is the concept of racial literacy which was first published in a 2004 journal article and developed in her book A White Side of Black Britain.
