Critical geography (also called radical geography) is a current of Human Geography that is mainly based on Critical Theory (Frankfurt School) for its geographical analysis. It emerged during the 1970s and 1980s as a response to neopositivist trends within geography and is usually placed at its origins alongside Behavioral Geography and Humanist Geography. Its limits to other current geographical currents, such as New Cultural Geography), social Geography or the aforementioned humanist geography, are not always well defined and this is the reason for repeated theoretical discussions.

Among one of its precursors and greatest references to date, the English Geographer David Harvey can be named. One of its greatest exponents in the non-Anglo-Saxon world was the Brazilian Marxist geographer Milton Santos. Other influential geographers in this school are the Frenchman Yves Lacoste and the Spanish Horacio Capel.
