Slough House is a series of spy novels by the British author Mick Herron. Herron began writing the first volume, Slow Horses, in 2008, and published it in 2010.

The series follows River Cartwright and his colleagues, a group of humiliated MI5 agents, who have been relegated to paper pushing jobs. They serve under a crude ageing Cold War era agent, Jackson Lamb, and will do anything to get back into the game.

Herron's books have sold more than four million copies. They have been called a satirical, "rollicking subversion" of the stories of John le Carré.
