Money: A Suicide Note is a 1984 novel by Martin Amis. It follows John Self, an advertising director whose hedonism and compulsive spending propel a chaotic transatlantic film project and a personal unravelling. Contemporary and later critics have frequently read the book as a sharp satire of 1980s consumer culture and media spectacle.

In 2005, Time included the novel in its "100 best English-language novels from 1923 to the present." The novel is based on Amis's experience as a script writer on the feature film Saturn 3, a Kirk Douglas vehicle. The novel was dramatised by the BBC in 2010.
