"Keith Hampton" (born 1973) is an Associate Professor of Communication at Rutgers University. His research interests focus on the relationship between information and communication technology, such as the Internet, social networks, and community democratic engagement, social isolation, and participation in the urban environment.

Hampton received his PhD from the Department of Sociology, University of Toronto, and previously was a faculty member at MIT and the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

Recent research explores such subjects as social interaction in public spaces, the role of technology in social isolation, and the role of the Internet in neighborhood interactions and relationships.
