La condición postmoderna: Informe sobre el saber es un ensayo del filósofo francés Jean-François Lyotard, publicado en 1979. El libro analiza el impacto de la informatización en el saber y la legitimidad en las sociedades postindustriales. Lyotard argumenta que la condición postmoderna se caracteriza por la incredulidad hacia los metarrelatos, las narrativas totalizadoras que antes legitimaban el conocimiento y las instituciones sociales. En su lugar, propone una pluralidad de juegos de lenguaje y una legitimidad basada en la performatividad y la paralogía.

Jean-François Lyotard was a French philosopher, sociologist, and literary theorist. His interdisciplinary discourse spans such topics as epistemology and communication, the human body, modern art and postmodern art, literature and critical theory, music, film, time and memory, space, the city and landscape, the sublime, and the relation between aesthetics and politics. He is best known for his articulation of postmodernism after the late 1970s and the analysis of the impact of postmodernity on the human condition. Lyotard was a key personality in contemporary continental philosophy and authored 26 books and many articles. He was a director of the International College of Philosophy founded by Jacques Derrida, François Châtelet, Jean-Pierre Faye, and Dominique Lecourt.
