Susan Leigh Star (3. července 1954 - 24. března 2010) byla americká socioložka, která se specializovala na studium informace v současné společnosti, informační architektury, klasifikace a standardizace. Dále se zabývala historií vědy, medicíny, technologií a komunikačními/informačními systémy. Velmi význačně se také podepsala na "ženských studiích". Susan se angažovala v mnoha feministických organizacích a výzkumech.
Susan Leigh Star (Leigh or L*) is Professor in the Department of Communication at UC San Diego, and Adjunct Professor of Sociology. She received her PhD in sociology of science and medicine from UC San Francisco, where she worked with Anselm Strauss. She has long been active in feminist organizing and research. Before coming to UCSD in 1999, she was Professor of Information Science at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and on the women's studies, sociology, and computer science faculties there. She has also taught at UC Irvine and Keele University, in England, and several universities in Scandinavia as guest professor. Much of her research has been on the social implications and design of large-scale technology, especially information technology. Her point of departure is the sociology of work, including emphases on invisible work in creating representations and infrastructure.
