«Тихий американец» (англ. The Quiet American) — роман 1955 года английского писателя Грэма Грина. Критикует внешнюю политику США во Вьетнаме. Основан на реальных событиях, но не излагает их точно: «Я допускаю … отклонения без всяких угрызений совести, потому что я написал роман, а не исторический очерк…».
