Marie-Thérèse Letablier (born 4 January 1947),[1] is a French sociologist. Her major sociological works concern work, family and gender issues. She is Research director in the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and a senior research fellow in the Paris Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne (CES).

In 2008, Letablier was a member of the Executive Committee of the European Sociological Association (ESA) and a member of the Committee for Communications. ESA is an association aimed to facilitate sociological research, teaching and communication on European issues, and to build networks between European sociologists.[2]

As a woman who has grown up during the seventies, she has developed research interests concerning family and gender issues. They have been mainly studied in a European comparative perspective. She has participated in several European research networks: on Families and Family Policies (for Sweden and France), on Gender and Employment (for Germany and France), on Social practices and Social Policies with regard to working and mothering, and on Childcare services.

In 2019, RN33 – Women's and Gender Studies celebrated its 10th anniversary. Letablier is a current member of the Research Network 33 Board.[2]
