Henri Hubert (23 June 1872 – 25 May 1927) was a French archaeologist and sociologist of comparative religion who is best known for his work on the Celts and his collaboration with Marcel Mauss and other members of the Année Sociologique.

It was also in 1898 that Hubert became a close friend of Marcel Mauss and began collaborating on the Année Sociologique of Émile Durkheim, where he eventually became responsible for the section on the 'sociology of religion'.

[1][2] Hubert and Mauss were to collaborate on several important works in the future, including an "Sacrifice: Its Nature and Function" (1899) and their Outline of a General Theory of Magic (1904).

Throughout the first two decades of the twentieth century Hubert continued to publish on both Asia and the Celts as well as more general topics.

His follow-up work on the Germanic peoples, entitled Les Germains and published posthumously in 1952, has yet to be translated to English.
