Emerich Francis (born Emerich Franzis: 27 June 1906 – 14 January 1994) was an Austrian-American sociologist.
(He is also identified in some sources under the pseudonym that he somtimes used as "Junius".) His emigration from what had become, by 1939, part of Nazi Germany, appears to have been undertaken as a result of his (hitherto, to most people, unknown) Jewish provenance.
During the 1930s his work had a German-nationalist focus, and dealt in particular with ethnic and religious minorities.
After 1945 his conributions became more theoretical and less overtly political.
