Lucien Sebag (1933, Tunis – 1965, Paris) was a French Marxist anthropologist, a student of Claude Lévi-Strauss. A researcher at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, he became known for trying to reconcile structuralism and marxism in a book precisely entitled Marxisme et structuralisme (1964).
Of suicidal temperament, he was followed by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.
In 1965, he committed suicide after falling in love with Judith, the daughter of Lacan.
