El Nacimiento de la Clínica es un libro del filósofo francés Michel Foucault, publicado originalmente en 1963. En esta obra, Foucault realiza una arqueología de la mirada médica, analizando la transformación de la medicina a finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX. Examina cómo la percepción y el entendimiento del cuerpo humano cambiaron con el surgimiento de la clínica como institución y cómo esto influyó en la práctica médica moderna. El libro explora la relación entre el poder, el conocimiento y la medicina, ofreciendo una perspectiva crítica sobre la historia de la medicina y su impacto en la sociedad.

Paul-Michel Foucault was a French historian of ideas and philosopher, who was also an author, literary critic, political activist, and teacher. Foucault's theories primarily addressed the relationships between power, knowledge and liberty, and he analyzed how they are used as a form of social control through multiple institutions. Though often cited as a structuralist and postmodernist, Foucault rejected these labels and sought to critique authority without limits on himself. His thought has influenced academics within a large number of contrasting areas of study, with this especially including those working in anthropology, communication studies, criminology, cultural studies, feminism, literary theory, psychology, and sociology. His efforts against homophobia and racial prejudice as well as against other ideological doctrines have also shaped research into critical theory and Marxism–Leninism alongside other topics.
