Raimundo Nina Rodrigues (December 4, 1862 – July 17, 1906) was a Brazilian coroner, psychiatrist, professor, writer, anthropologist and ethnologist. A notable eugenicist, he was also a dietologist, tropicalist, sexologist, hygienist, biographer and epidemiologist.
Nina Rodrigues is considered the founder of Brazilian criminal anthropology and a pioneer in studies on black culture in the country. A nationalist, he was the first Brazilian scholar to address the theme of black people as a relevant social issue for understanding the racial formation of the Brazilian population, despite adopting a racist, nationalist, scientistic and deterministic perspective, in his book Os Africanos no Brasil (1890–1905).{{Cite book|last=Canevacci|first=Massimo|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=X8ycDwAAQBAJ&q=raimundo+nina+rodrigues+anthropologist&pg=PA35|title=Polyphonic Anthropology: Theoretical and Empirical Cross-Cultural Fieldwork|date=2012-03-23|publisher=BoD – Books on Demand|isbn=978-953-51-0418-6|language=en}}
