The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group is a United States-based book and periodical publisher focused on the humanities and social sciences. Based in Lanham, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C., it operates as an independent publisher with a catalog that serves researchers, students, and readers seeking scholarly and literary works in those fields. The company has grown through acquisitions, including the 2020 purchase of Prometheus Books, which became an imprint. In its niche, it contributes to the broader humanities and social sciences publishing landscape, supporting scholarly inquiry and academic discussion.

In 2024, Bloomsbury acquired Rowman & Littlefield's academic publishing division, a development followed by reports of asset transfers between the two organizations. The arrangement indicates a reallocation of the company's traditional academic portfolio within the wider publishing ecosystem.
