Abstract: Kramers-Kronig relations are extended to dielectric functions $varepsilon(q,omega)$ that depend not only on the angular frequency $omega$ but on the wave number $q$ as well. This implies extending the notion of causality commonly used in the theory of Kramers-Kronig relations to include the fact that signals cannot propagate faster than light in vacuo. \ The results derived here also apply to general theories of isotropic linear response in which the response function depends on both the wave number and the frequency.
