清代文学家袁枚撰写的一部文言短篇小说集。《子不语》的正集大约成书于乾隆五十三年（1788年）前，后来又有些陆陆续续的篇章，汇为续集。《子不语》的书名本于《论语·述而》：“子不语怪力乱神”，后来作者发现元人说部有同名者，遂改为《新齐谐》，本于《庄子·逍遥游》：“齐谐者，志怪者也”。元人说部之同名书早已失传，故后人仍多沿用《子不语》之名。它仿照六朝志怪小说及《聊斋志异》而写，文章大都言鬼神，谈怪异，其中因果报应、荒诞迷信成分较多，部分篇章从偶然、猎奇的角度写不怕鬼的故事。全书文字简练、语言自然、亦庄亦谐，展现了光怪陆离的世间百态，用极尽幽默且晦涩的方式揭示了当时社会的诸多恶弊，体现了袁枚对理学思想的批判和对封建迷信的怀疑。
