Chris Matthew Sciabarra (b. February 17, 1960) is a scholar and writer living in Brooklyn, New York. The main topics in his books are Objectivism, Libertarianism, and dialectics particularly concerned with Ayn Rand, Friedrich Hayek, and Murray Rothbard. He is a Visiting Scholar at New York University where he also earned his PhD and undergraduate degrees—the former under the supervision of Bertell Ollman. In 1999 he became the co-founder and co-editor of the biannual The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies and belongs to Liberty and Power, a group weblog at the History News Network.

He is the author of a trilogy of books on dialectics and libertarianism, including the 1995 Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical, which explores Ayn Rand's college influences and intellectual roots—particularly the possible influence of philosopher Nicholas Onufrievich Lossky. It also argued the controversial claim that Rand's philosophical method was dialectical.
