This study aims to make a bibliometric and literature review on the role of stakeholders in the sustainability of small and medium-sized companies. Based on a bibliometric analysis of 1258 documents on the topic of "Stakeholders and SMEs" in the Scopus® database and VOSviewer®, for the period 1994-2020, the following items were examined: general results, types of documents, most cited authors, countries publishers, documents published each year, subject areas where it is published, and the main publication magazines. This analysis provides different classifications in terms of contributions to thematic development in the literature that has to do with the role of stakeholders in the sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises. The results of the analysis can be used to improve the understanding of research and the development of studies in the area, and particularly its sustainability, as well as the role that stakeholders play in it. This study, in addition, concludes that the investigations that consider this methodology for the relationship of the subject are almost nil. For its part, the greatest challenge is related to the need to take into account the expectations of stakeholders for the sustainability of small and medium-sized companies, and this encourages the performance and growth of this type of organization in the long term, what is related to sustainability.
