Man of Nazareth is a 1979 historical novel by Anthony Burgess based on his screenplay for Franco Zeffirelli's television miniseries Jesus of Nazareth (1977). It is the second in a trilogy of Burgess books with biblical themes, the others being Moses (1976) and The Kingdom of the Wicked (1985).

Man of Nazareth is a fictionalized historic account recalling the story of Jesus from his birth to his death. Burgess uses a Greek merchant recently returned from Jerusalem following the crucifixion as the narrator, a man recounting the stories he heard about Jesus while conducting his business there.
