Tobias Hecht (born 18 February 1964) is an American anthropologist, ethnographer, and translator.

Hecht was born in Seattle, Washington. He received his B.A. from Columbia University in 1986 and his Ph.D. in Social Anthropology in 1995 from the University of Cambridge,[1] and was the winner of the 2002 Margaret Mead Award, for his book At Home in the Street: Street Children of Northeast Brazil, an innovative study of street children in Northeastern Brazil.[2]

In 2002–2003 he was the recipient of a Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation research grant for his work on The violent life of Bruna Verissimo: An experimental ethnographic biography of a homeless Brazilian youth.[3] His 2006 novel After Life: An Ethnographic Novel was based in part on that work.[4]

In 2005 Hecht placed second in the Hucha de Oro, Spain's most important literary competition for short works of fiction.[5] He taught at Pomona College.[6]
