Cime tempestose (Wuthering Heights) è l'unico romanzo di Emily Brontë, scritto fra l'ottobre 1845 e il giugno 1846. Venne pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1847, sotto lo pseudonimo di Ellis Bell, mentre una seconda edizione postuma fu curata da sua sorella Charlotte nel 1850. Il titolo viene dal nome di una delle tre principali ambientazioni del libro (Wuthering Heights, Gimmerton, Thrushcross Grange) il casale nella brughiera dello Yorkshire originariamente di proprietà degli Earnshaw, dove fu allevato Heathcliff e dove la storia si sviluppa.
