Michel Foucault is one of the most important authors of Social and Human Sciences (CSH), responsible for a diversity of publications. Library and Information Science are included in the list of CSH, appropriating the currents of thought produced by the sciences, consolidating the dialogue. Thus, from a bibliometric study, the objective of this research is to map the presence of Michel Foucault in the national scientific production of Library and Information Science. To this end, the database of brazilian publications in Information Science (BRAPCI) was selected, which indexes articles from national printed and electronic journals in the area. Data collection was undertaken in January 2020, so that the research coverage was from 1972 to 2019, being carried out by consulting the terms “Foucault” and “Michel Foucault”. It was observed from the systematization of the 128 selected articles: year of publication, authorship, periodical, keywords, themes of articles and analysis of citations. 362 works by Michel Foucault were cited, including books, book chapters and articles. We realize that Foucault is a theoretical-methodological framework for Library and Information Science, having been present since the 1990s on the national scene, especially with the “Archeology of knowledge”. The results also pointed to a concentration of citations in articles associated with the “Historical and Epistemological Studies of Information Science”, “Information, Education and Work” and "Knowledge Organization and Representation”
