男性研究，有時也被稱為男性氣概的研究，是一個跨學科的學術領域，專門討論關於男性、陽剛氣質、霸权男性气概、性別和政治的主題。

相對於男性心理的概念，男性研究計劃和課程通常包括當代討論男人的權利、男性主義、女權主義理論、酷兒理論、母系社會、父權制，以及更普遍的男性和男子氣概的社會、歷史和文化建設。他們經常討論的問題，圍繞著看到周圍，演變成更微妙的形式，而不是消失在當今時代。

美國男性研究協會（American Men's Studies Association ，AMSA）追踪有組織的男性研究領域至20世紀80年代初，以及學者的工作在參與反性別歧視的改變男性國家組織（National Organization for Changing Men，NOCM）下的被稱為男子的研究工作組（Men's Studies Task Group ，MSTG），其中包括馬丁·阿克爾(Mairtin Mac an Ghaill)、雪費布里斯、哈里·布羅德(Harry Brod)、山姆凡姆奧、馬丁費伯特和邁克爾·梅斯納(Michael Messner)。然而，男性研究的類別於也早於NOCM，以及少數遍布了整個20世紀70年代在美國各地各高校任教的學者。
