Neil Fligstein (born May 23, 1951) is an American sociologist, and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on economic sociology, political sociology, and organizational theory.

Fligstein's theoretical work in economic sociology has focused on "political-cultural" approach to "markets in corporate control," the structure of markets, and the intersection of markets and politics. These concepts have been applied to study the European Union's development of a single market through cooperative political processes.
