"La miseria del historicismo" es un ensayo de Karl R. Popper que critica la idea de que la evolución humana puede predecirse mediante el descubrimiento de leyes o tendencias históricas. Popper argumenta que la historia humana está influenciada por el crecimiento del conocimiento, lo que hace que la predicción del futuro sea científicamente infundada y comparable a la superstición. El libro examina las doctrinas antinaturalistas y pronaturalistas del historicismo, ofreciendo una crítica audaz y perspicaz que ha tenido una influencia significativa en la teoría social y política contemporánea.

Sir Karl Raimund Popper was an Austrian–British philosopher, academic and social commentator. One of the 20th century's most influential philosophers of science, Popper is known for his rejection of the classical inductivist views on the scientific method in favour of empirical falsification made possible by his falsifiability criterion, and for founding the Department of Philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. According to Popper, a theory in the empirical sciences can never be proven, but it can be falsified, meaning that it can be scrutinised with decisive experiments. Popper was opposed to the classical justificationist account of knowledge, which he replaced with "the first non-justificational philosophy of criticism in the history of philosophy", namely critical rationalism.
