Axel Honneth (born 1949) is a professor at the Institut für Sozialforschung (Institute for Social Research) in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany (the so-called Frankfurt School).

He was born in Essen, and studied in Bonn, Bochum, Berlin and Munich (under Jürgen Habermas) before moving to Frankfurt.

One of Honneth's core beliefs is that all grievances regarding the distribution of goods in society can be reduced to struggles for recognition.

His main work is The Struggle for Recognition: Moral Grammar of Social Conflicts (1996), Polity Press. He also co-authored "Recognition or Redistribution?" with feminist philosopher Nancy Fraser in 2003.
