La macchina del tempo (The Time Machine) è un romanzo di fantascienza di H. G. Wells, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1895. È una delle prime storie ad aver portato nella fantascienza il concetto di viaggio nel tempo basato su un mezzo meccanico, inaugurando un intero filone narrativo che ha avuto particolare fortuna nel XX secolo. Sarà proprio nel 1895 che Wells otterrà il successo dando alle stampe La macchina del tempo, La visita meravigliosa e Il bacillo rubato e altri casi, considerate le sue prime opere rivolte al grande pubblico. L'anno dell'affermazione letteraria di Wells coincide casualmente con l'anno di morte del suo maestro Thomas Henry Huxley e con quello del matrimonio con la sua alunna Amy Catherine Robbins.
