Bom-Crioulo: The Black Man and the Cabin Boy () is a novel by the Brazilian writer Adolfo Caminha, first published in 1895. An English translation by E.A. Lacey was published in 1982 by Gay Sunshine.
The novel, whose narrative follows the character Amaro, an ex-slave who works for the Navy and who, at a given moment, falls in love with the young cabin boy Aleixo, was the first major literary work on homosexuality to be published in Brazil, and one of the first to have a black person as its hero. The novel caused a stir upon its publication but was almost forgotten in the first half of the 20th century. In the second half of the 20th century, the novel has been republished several times in Brazil and translated into English, Spanish, German, French and Italian.
