《小氣財神》又譯《聖誕頌歌》、《圣诞欢歌》或《聖誕述異》(英語:A Christmas Carol;英文全名:A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas)是查尔斯·狄更斯的聖誕系列小作品,1843年12月19日初版,由(John Leech)負責插畫。狄更斯最初寫這本書的動機只不過是為了解決燃眉之急的債務,未料甫出版即造成轟動,於短短一周內初版的六千冊就狂售一空。至今它已是史上最廣受喜愛的聖誕故事之一,在世界各地不斷地以各種語言再版,並多次被改編為電影、電視劇、動畫及舞台劇等,在聖誕季節播放演出,流行的程度歷久不衰。 《小氣財神》其實是寫於一個舊有聖誕傳統逐漸式微的年代;然而由於本書的廣受歡迎,使聖誕節及其蘊涵的精神情操再次得到人們的重視。與狄更斯同時代的英國詩人兼幽默大師(Thomas Hood)在一篇發表於1844年1月的書評當中曾如是說:「如果說聖誕節那古老溫馨好客的傳統及它所建立社會慈善的風尚正面臨傾頹的危機,那麼能夠作為中流砥柱力挽此一狂瀾者,也就是本書了。」 一夜間被源源不絕的所救贖的過程。書名的英文原文「A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas」直譯則為「看來是個聖誕鬼故事,實質上卻是以散文寫的一首聖誕的頌歌」,因此就不難瞭解狄更斯像處理歌詞一樣地,把全書分為五段:〈馬里的鬼魂〉、〈聖誕三精靈之一〉、〈聖誕三精靈之二〉、〈最後的精靈〉、〈終曲〉。
