Klaus Eder (born 1946) is a graduate of Frankfurt University and a doctor of sociology of the University of Constance (1976). In 1984 he took his Habilitation at the University of Düsseldorf, where he was Privatdozent from 1985 onwards; he was also Heisenberg Fellow and research director of the study group for social science research, Munich.

His current research is into new social movements and public space, especially in a comparative perspective, and into the sociological theory of culture. He directs a comparative research project on environmentalism in Europe. He has left his fulltime post at the Euroepan University Institute and was nominated external professor in 1996.
