'''''Introduction to Solid State Physics''''' is a classic [[condensed matter physics]] textbook originally written by American physicist [[Charles Kittel]] in 1953.<ref name=chambersAlt /> The book has been highly influential and has seen widespread adoption; [[Marvin L. Cohen]] remarked in 2019 that Kittel's content choices in the original edition played a large role in defining the field of [[solid-state physics]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Cohen|first1=Marvin L.|last2=Cohen|author1-link=Marvin L.

In some later editions, the eighteenth chapter, titled ''Nanostructures'', was written by [[Paul McEuen]].
